During the press conference ahead of the trip to Leicester, the Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca he commented: “We can attack better than we are doing and we can defend better, but there are only five clubs who have conceded fewer goals than us. So defensively we are probably doing quite well. I don’t know why people think we defend badly.”
What can he do to make Chelsea more attacking?
“An objective for the future is to have Palmer and Joao Felix play together, who has been doing great with us since day one, the only problem is finding the balance. Those who take the field against Leicester will not be at 100%, They are human beings.”
