I wrote an article not too way back on how obsessed Enzo Maresca is with soccer. He loves the game rather a lot, he lives and breathes it every single sport.
He wouldn’t title it work, nonetheless the arduous ‘work’ that Maresca locations into his ‘job’ correct now could possibly be going to be a number of of the toughest work you may have ever witnessed throughout the sport. I’d hate to be his family, as I’m pretty sure they don’t get a look in. You’ll find a way to consider he presents them about an hour of his time on Christmas Day to eat some meals collectively after which he’s correct once more throughout the office preparing for Chelsea’s subsequent sport all afternoon.
And evidently is strictly how he’s spending his days correct now as successfully principal as a lot as Sunday. He’s drastically researching and preparing for the Manchester United sport, with a cup sport in direction of Newcastle United thrown throughout the mix too.
Nonetheless in any case, preparation for Sunday has been made much more sturdy now with the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and on the time of writing, we do not know who shall be throughout the dug out at Earlier Trafford this weekend.
Kieran Gill of The Day-to-day Mail reported on Tuesday night that Erik ten Hag’s sacking has refined Chelsea’s week as they’d already analysed Manchester United’s play beneath the Dutchman in prep for Sunday.
Maresca says he’s now ‘poring over’ PSV video video games from when Ruud van Nistelrooy was supervisor, as there’s a probability he shall be throughout the dugout this Sunday as caretaker supervisor for The Purple Devils.
He’s moreover acutely aware they may have to alter as soon as extra to Ruben Amorim and might then be watching how Sporting play and setup.
To go to this extent of diploma of research simply isn’t common. I’ve recognized circumstances the place many various managers haven’t completed this, so don’t suppose it’s solely a daily part of preparation for a sport. Actually, many various managers do work this way, and Maresca is one amongst them. He and his staff conduct intensive evaluation of their opponents sooner than every sport, and having a look at how the supervisor models up is just one small part of it sooner than wanting on the actual particular person avid gamers too.
The reality that Maresca is researching Van Nistelrooy along with Amorim merely in case, truly is an unimaginable current of the work and energy he’s putting in to this job and what he locations into soccer whole. He’s obsessive concerning the sport.
That’s clearly merely all one different enormous constructive for us as Chelsea followers, because of you acknowledge that that amount of intensive evaluation on our opponents is barely going to help us put collectively and setup increased.
I wanted to level out this and write about it, because of it truly did impress me and I’m very sure it’s not merely the norm for all managers to position this rather a lot work into the opposition scouting.
