Enzo Maresca, after Chelsea's narrow win over Everton, shared his candid assessments of various players, particularly emphasizing Romeo Lavia's significant contribution upon his return from injury. Maresca expressed frustration at being unable to coach from the sidelines due to a ban but noted that this vantage point provided valuable insights. While Lavia's abilities shone, he also reflected on challenges with Robert Sanchez's performance and Cole Palmer's goal drought. Maresca underscored the importance of managing player fitness for optimal team performance, as seen in Lavia and Reece James's cases.
"When he's fit, he's one of the best midfielders because he can defend very well, he can attack, he breaks the line, the pass between the lines, it is unbelievable."
"The only shame for us is that unfortunately we need to manage them, we need to protect them. But there's no doubt that Chelsea with Reece and Romeo is a better team."
