Enzo Maresca Shares How Chelsea Finally Won In The Last Minute At Home.
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has shared his excitement after Chelsea finally won a home game in the last minute — something that had never happened since he joined the club.
“This is my second season at Chelsea but we had never won last minute at home before,” Maresca said happily.
The Italian coach also talked about being sent off during the match.
“The reason why I got sent off? It was instinctive… but maybe it was worth it,” he said at the Festival Dello Sport.
Maresca’s Proud Journey at Chelsea
When Enzo Maresca first joined Chelsea, he felt a lot of pressure.
“When I first signed, I felt the pressure of being the only Italian not to have won here [in Italy], but fortunately it hasn’t gone that way,” he explained.
Now, he feels proud of how far the team has come.
“Bringing this club back to the top is a very satisfying feeling,” he added.
Beating PSG — A Special Moment
Maresca also remembered when Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) — a team many people thought would win easily.
“Everyone had PSG as favourites. We beat a team that, I think, were the strongest in the world at that moment,” he said.
But for Maresca, it’s not just about trophies.
“I don’t go into work every day because we won the World Championship — I do it because I love it,” he said.
“I don’t wake up in the morning thinking about the titles we’ve won.”
The coach shared that Chelsea played seven different games with many changes and injuries — but it was all worth it in the end.
“We tried to make changes and surprise opponents. It went well. The trophy is wonderful, even if it is a bit heavy,” Maresca laughed.
Final Thoughts
Enzo Maresca’s story shows what it means to never give up and to love what you do. Chelsea fans can be proud of their team’s hard work, strong spirit, and never-say-die attitude.
