Enzo Maresca Situation: 2 sides to a story but I don’t really care about either of them

What annoys me about conditions just like the Enzo Maresca one is that you’ll all the time see individuals combating corners on one facet, they hardly ever attempt to see each side of a narrative. There are all the time two sides to a narrative. And no matter has occurred with Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, will all the time be depending on who’s telling you what’s occurred.

Chelsea can have their model of occasions, Maresca can have his. And lots of others can have completely different variations once more someplace in between.

I’ve by no means understood the Chelsea fan obsession with Maresca, anybody would have thought he had a Jose Mourinho impact at our membership. He didn’t. He’s removed from the worst supervisor we’ve ever had, however he’s actually not near the most effective both. The stanning of him and the revisionism is simply bizarre. Sure, he helped us win the Membership World Cup, and a few issues he did at Chelsea have been good. However let’s not overlook that beneath Maresca, on the entire, issues weren’t that nice both. He misplaced among the dressing room as properly, and fell out with sure individuals on the membership, Bernardo Cueva being one in every of them I find out about that has not been reported. He’s removed from a saint. He was additionally clearly having his head turned by Metropolis and eager to go there while he was nonetheless Chelsea head coach. So, Maresca did some good issues at our membership, however was additionally must take some blame for the toxicity that we skilled.

On the opposite facet of that, in the event you ask Maresca, he’ll inform you he was handled poorly by Chelsea, and perhaps he was to an extent. He earned a proper actually to get extra of a say in soccer operations on the membership. Everyone knows that we wanted a defensive revamp, one thing Maresca requested for and obtained ignored. And now look, Xabi Alonso is coming in and saying the identical factor, and he’s excepted to have that actioned. So Maresca actually has some foundation to really feel aggrieved too. Maresca I don’t assume is a nasty individual in any respect, I believe he’s in all probability simply opinionated, and there’s nothing fallacious with that. He was now not their ‘sure man’.

There are ALWAYS two sides to a narrative, and folks on the market combating a selected nook and solely seeing tunnel imaginative and prescient on it proper now, want to recollect this.

All this chatter of Maresca going to Man Metropolis and what he did or didn’t do at Chelsea, and what Chelsea did or didn’t do, I actually couldn’t care much less anymore. He’s gone, we’ve obtained Alonso in, we obtained two video games left this season and an enormous summer season forward. That’s the place my focus is and all I care about proper now. Maresca can do no matter he needs, I’m not anymore. No level creating extra fan division, is there?
