Chelsea humiliated by their youngsters: Maresca punishes the team
The defeat was too heavy to bear. On Wednesday, Chelsea's first team suffered a crushing 3-0 loss to the club's U21s in a match at Cobham. An embarrassment that Enzo Maresca would not tolerate.
Furious, the Italian coach immediately made a drastic decision: cancel the scheduled rest day for the senior players on Thursday. A clear message sent to his squad.
According to TheChelseaSpot, all players not called up for international duty, including Malo Gusto, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Lavia, Sancho, and Nkunku, participated in this disastrous match. Donnell McNeilly and Chizzy Ezenwata, the goal scorers, shone against their seniors. With just days to go before the clash against Tottenham, this setback raises questions about the Blues' form. Maresca hopes for a quick response.
