Chelsea insists on maintaining total confidence in Enzo Maresca despite the wear and tear generated by the recent defeats in the Premier League. The London board rules out premature changes and understands that the coach's evaluation will only be done at the end of the campaign, as revealed by the Telegraph.

Calm at Stamford Bridge despite the storm of criticism

Even after stumbles against Manchester United and Brighton, the club does not contemplate an immediate dismissal. Structural explanations take precedence over impulsive reactions in the boardroom: the dismissals of Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah, key in those games, are seen as determining factors that altered the initial tactical script.

In the last six months, Chelsea has suffered five defeats, with four of those matches ending with a player down. This data is worrisome, but it has not prompted the board to rush a decision on Maresca. The real evaluation is reserved for the end of the season.

Meanwhile, the Italian coach reinforces his stance with messages like "there is no reason to panic," pointing out that the lack of numerical control conditioned the defeats.

Maresca in the eye of the storm: pressures, injuries, and challenges

Enzo Maresca has been the target of criticism for his tactical management when the team is reduced to ten men. Part of the rejection arises right there: can his proposal adapt to adverse scenarios? Additionally, fans question specific decisions in tense moments.

The extensive medical report complicates the situation. Figures like Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Levi Colwill, or Tosin Adarabioyo are temporarily out of action. According to Reuters, Palmer will be sidelined for two to three weeks to recover. This depletion reduces options for rotating with assurance.

However, the executive line maintains that the project is still ongoing and that progress will come with the recovery of players. The main immediate goal remains to secure a place in the Champions League and progress steadily in cup competitions.

Upcoming litmus tests on Chelsea's horizon

The schedule shows no mercy. In the Champions League, Chelsea will host Benfica, led by José Mourinho, who returns to Stamford Bridge with the aura of a legend that he still holds among the Blues fans. Shortly after, they face Liverpool at home, a rival that demands an immediate response.

The recent disappointment against Brighton was painful. The Londoners squandered a 1-0 lead and, after Chalobah's sending off, were overtaken by Welbeck and De Cuyper. The narrative mirrored the match with United, emphasizing doubts about the approach when Chelsea loses numerical superiority.

A symbolic episode: after the clash, members of the ownership, like Behdad Eghbali, Paul Winstanley, and Laurence Stewart, visited the dressing room. Maresca played down the significance of the gesture, stating that "they are always present."

Long-term vision: patience from the stands

The board believes that acting hastily would be a mistake. They remember the episode from the previous season when Chelsea overcame a similar setback to become Conference League champions and win the Club World Cup. This experience reinforces the conviction that Maresca should have a calm working period.

The focus is on not destabilizing a project just six weeks before the competitive start. The club sources estimate that external doubts may diminish if performance improves. So far, there is no solid alternative plan in place.

Chelsea does not consider Maresca's premature dismissal. The commitment to the coach remains steadfast, with the belief that his performance will be judged at the end of the season, not after isolated defeats. That's where the club's conviction lies: Chelsea will not take missteps with Maresca as leader.
