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 sport.
He wouldn’t name it work, however the arduous ‘work’ that Maresca places into his ‘job’ proper now could be going to be a number of the hardest work you’ve ever witnessed within the sport. I’d hate to be his household, as I’m fairly positive they don’t get a glance in. You may think about he provides 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 sport all afternoon.
And it appears that evidently is precisely how he’s spending his days proper now as nicely main as much as Sunday. He’s drastically researching and getting ready for the Manchester United sport, with a cup sport in opposition to Newcastle United thrown within the combine too.
However in fact, preparation for Sunday has been made a lot more durable now with the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and on the time of writing, we have no idea who can be within the dug out at Outdated Trafford this weekend.
Kieran Gill of The Day by 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 below 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 can be within the dugout this Sunday as caretaker supervisor for The Pink Devils.
He’s additionally conscious they could 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 finished this, so don’t assume it’s only a regular a part of preparation for a sport. After all, many different managers do work this manner, and Maresca is one in all them. He and his employees conduct in depth analysis of their opponents earlier than each sport, and taking a look at how the supervisor units up is only one small a part of it earlier than trying on the particular person gamers too.
The truth that Maresca is researching Van Nistelrooy in addition to Amorim simply in case, actually is an unbelievable present of the work and vitality he’s placing in to this job and what he places into soccer general. He’s obsessive about the sport.
That is clearly simply all one other huge constructive for us as Chelsea followers, as a result of that that quantity of intensive analysis on our opponents is just 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 positive it’s not simply the norm for all managers to place this a lot work into the opposition scouting.
