I wrote an article just lately on how obsessed Enzo Maresca is with soccer. He loves the sport a lot, he lives and breathes it each single recreation.
He wouldn’t name it work, however the onerous ‘work’ that Maresca places into his ‘job’ proper now could be going to be a few of the hardest work you’ve ever witnessed within the recreation. I’d hate to be his household, as I’m fairly certain they don’t get a glance in. You may think about he offers them about an hour of his time on Christmas Day to eat some meals collectively after which he’s proper again within the workplace getting ready for Chelsea’s subsequent recreation all afternoon.
And evidently is precisely how he’s spending his days proper now as effectively main as much as Sunday. He’s drastically researching and getting ready for the Manchester United recreation, with a cup recreation in opposition to Newcastle United thrown within the combine too.
However after all, preparation for Sunday has been made a lot harder now with the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and on the time of writing, we have no idea who will probably be within the dug out at Previous Trafford this weekend.
Kieran Gill of The Every day Mail reported on Tuesday evening that Erik ten Hag’s sacking has sophisticated Chelsea’s week as they’d already analysed Manchester United’s play underneath the Dutchman in prep for Sunday.
Maresca says he’s now ‘poring over’ PSV video games from when Ruud van Nistelrooy was supervisor, as there’s a likelihood he will probably be within the dugout this Sunday as caretaker supervisor for The Crimson Devils.
He’s additionally conscious they might have to modify once more to Ruben Amorim and can then be watching how Sporting play and setup.
To go to this extent of degree of analysis is just not regular. I’ve recognized circumstances the place many different managers haven’t accomplished this, so don’t assume it’s only a regular a part of preparation for a recreation. After all, many different managers do work this fashion, and Maresca is certainly one of them. He and his employees conduct in depth analysis of their opponents earlier than each recreation, and how the supervisor units up is only one small a part of it earlier than wanting on the particular person gamers too.
The truth that Maresca is researching Van Nistelrooy in addition to Amorim simply in case, actually is an unimaginable present of the work and vitality he’s placing in to this job and what he places into soccer total. He’s obsessive about the sport.
That is clearly simply all one other huge optimistic for us as Chelsea followers, as a result of you realize that that quantity of intensive analysis on our opponents is barely going to assist us put together and setup higher.
I needed to point out this and write about it, as a result of it actually did impress me and I’m very certain it’s not simply the norm for all managers to place this a lot work into the opposition scouting.
