Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is prepared to give Liverpool a standing ovation as part of a tradition when they visit them this weekend, hoping to use the image to stoke his team’s ambitions.
The Blues are the first team to show their professionalism to สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที the Reds in front of their home fans at Stamford Bridge, ahead of Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace.
Of course, Maresca is egoless and says it is appropriate because Arne Slots’ team is so consistent and sees the honour of the opponents as a way to motivate the Chelsea players to follow suit.
“I think that’s the tradition, it’s the right thing to do and we want to do it,” Maresca said at a press conference ahead of the Liverpool game (May 4).
“First of all, they won the league, so they deserve respect.”
“And hopefully we can become champions like him in the near future.”
“Let’s say you want to narrow the gap with a rival club of this level, you definitely need to gain experience first.”
“Our team will definitely be more experienced next season because 2024-25 is the year we will be able to work together fully.”
“For example, someone who has grown instantly is Levi Colville. In terms of leadership, he will only get better in the following years.”
“Hopefully, the one season that they have been through will help them grow and be useful to us in terms of experience.”
Maresca, who led Leicester to the English Premier League title last season, also received a standing ovation from his opponents before the end of the regular season.
