![ ‼️🚨🔵PRESSER🔵🚨‼️ 🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-Tottenham Hotspur Press Conference: 🔹Enzo Maresca on if he has spoken to Liam Delap since red card: "I don't need to speak with Liam. I spoke with him but he knows everything. He is aware of the situation. He knows he made the mistake. Full stop, no more than that." 🔹Enzo Maresca on discipline problem: "I think that some of the red cards we concede, we can avoid that." 🔹Enzo Maresca on changing the discipline issues: "It's also something we need to learn and need to do better. For sure, no doubt, we will do better than that in the future." 🔹Enzo Maresca on whether Liam Delap is a long way from the player he wants him to be: "I'm not from England, so sometimes when I try to translate from Italian to English, it's a bit different. When Liam is on the pitch, he is more focused to try his battle with the defender. That's what I was trying to say. There are three players in this team that I know better than the rest, Lavia, Palmer and Delap because I knew them from City U21s. I know Liam will be a fantastic player for us, but there are some things he can improve." 🔹Enzo Maresca on Spurs' home record: "I think Tottenham are doing very good. They won the Europa League and they started really well this season. It's a derby and it will be a difficult game." 🔹Enzo Maresca on Chelsea's left wingers: "They are both [Garnacho and Gittens] adapting to the way we work every day. They are both doing very well. This is what we want from our wingers, scoring goals and assists. It's good that they're both doing very well so we can choose one or the other." 🔹Enzo Maresca on conceding from set-pieces: "I think that set-pieces, you are going to score goals and concede goals. The reason why is because when we concede, you are not strong enough. It is an action that is so difficult to defend." 🔹Enzo Maresca on defending long throws: "For sure, we are working on it, for sure." 🔹Enzo Maresca on if Liam Delap apologised: "Straight after the game in the changing room, he apologised to everyone." 🔹Enzo Maresca on Palmer injury latest: "I just met him in the canteen for breakfast and I said to him, in one week 'you will be back' and he was laughing. For Cole, it's exactly the same plan, we will wait [until he is ready]." 🔹Enzo Maresca on the discipline: "I think as I said many times, I like to learn and evolve. In this moment, we are trying to do everything to try and avoid this kind of situation. Hopefully we can learn and be better in the future." #CFC | #Chelsea | #TOTCHE | #Interviews 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1984215898182361561/amplify_video_thumb/1984215652144422912/img/KvlPfBRY3ZFyds2c.jpg)
![Possession vs Progression: Patience or Lack of Ideas? Is Kaizer Chiefs showing more patience on the ball, or a lack of ideas to penetrate defensive blocks? Kaizer Chiefs were more comfortable in possession and better organised against Sekhukhune than against Golden Arrows over the weekend, but the key question was whether this represented patient control or a lack of attacking invention. Chiefs kept the ball but rarely broke lines. Circulation was often safe and predictable, with few passes between the lines, limited rotations in the final third and little movement behind the defence. Possession, therefore, did not consistently translate into clear chances. This also exposed structural and personnel issues in build-up. When we build in a 4-2 and the opposition blocks passing lanes to Maboe and Ox, progression becomes difficult. The fullbacks are not consistently high, while we lack enough quality from the back to play through pressure and connect with Baartman or Ighodaro moving into the half-spaces or behind pressure. These are passes a player like Aden McCarthy used to provide more naturally, but we often resort to long balls with poor accuracy. Midfield control is another concern. Ox made more passes into the final third[14] than Maboe, despite Maboe playing as the 8. We need the 8 to be more influential in these areas, helping control the flow and connect midfield with attack. Ox was effective at winning the ball and playing forward, but that responsibility cannot fall primarily on him given his technical flaws once the expectations rise. Sekhukhune's passive press gave Chiefs comfort on the ball, but it also highlighted how dependent our possession can be on the opponent's approach. We can circulate when unpressured, but still struggle to play through a well-organised press. Ighodaro is another example: he often drops too deep to get involved, yet when he makes runs behind the defence, he is not consistently found even when the space is available..we lacked players brave enough to play "that pass". We also rely too heavily on low-probability long shots instead of getting the ball into the box for players such as Silva, Ighodaro and Duba. Final-third decision-making has to improve. We need to get our best midfielders on the ball more often and, once we reach the attacking third, consistently find our most dangerous players in positions where they can hurt the opposition. We struggled to get Phili in the game in the 1st half. The second half was an improvement on the pointless circulation of the first. Chiefs played more forward, increased the intensity a little and benefited from substitutions that brought better movement in the final third. Instead of simply passing around Sekhukhune's block, we began moving it, creating spaces from both wide and central areas and the goals followed. Having a player capable of operating between the lines also made a difference by providing a link between midfield and attack. There are clear signs of progress in the coach's positional model, particularly in our ability to retain the ball and control games for longer periods. However, possession must become more consistently penetrative. This is also a squad-balance issue. The coach has asked for 4 attacking reinforcements, and management is yet to provide them[Only Phili came and Faiz is more of a project buy than a player who comes and hits the ground running] Some of these limitations, if attended to, should improve with better attacking profiles, but the existing group must still make better decisions in the final third. The progress is there, but the next step is turning possession into progression, and progression into consistent chances.
