The Chelsea transfer window is still far from over. Despite 280 M € already spent to bring Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato, Liam Delap, Estevao, Dario Essugo or Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez (the latter two have already left on loan to Strasbourg), Enzo Maresca still claims at least one central defender. Levi Colwill's heavy injury changes his plans. He lost a holder for most of the season. “I think we need a central defender.”
However, the Italian coach has something to do in this area. He has players on hand like Trevoh Chalobah, Renato Veiga, whom he would also like to separate, Axel Disasi, on which he no longer counts, Tosin Adarabioyo, Aaron Aselmino and many other French: Wesley Fofana and Axel Disasi. They are the question here. Their coach was not at all tender at a press conference yesterday to two days before the first Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
Particularly humiliating maresca with Fofana and Badiashile
We can even talk about humiliating remarks. Evoking the versatility of certain members of its workforce and the capacity for a defender to evolve a notch higher, he estimated that “Wesley Fofana was able to do so. He must first be in good shape, and then he can dowhile the latter is often plagued by injuries. Wesley played this position for 45 minutes. It was the first half against Bournemouth outside. Probably one of the worst half-time since our arrival.»»
The Blues technician then had very hard words towards Benoît Badiashile. “”He played in the axis (of the defense), in the final of the Conference League, in the first half, we lost 1-0. We replaced him by Levi (Colwill) and we won 4-1. It's no longer the same. “ To support a player publicly, we have known more. Inevitably, the statements of Enzo Maresca already go around the social networks and the English media and do not risk arranging the situation of the two French defenders.
