Enzo Maresca's Chelsea team achieved some success at the end of last season. In addition to the Conference League Cup, they also won the Club World Cup. And they were able to secure a place in the Champions League, which is the team's main goal. However, just before the start of this season, Levi Colwill, who is the main driving force of the team's defense, suffered an ACL injury that every player fears and was out for half of the season. At the beginning of the season, the best player of the whole team and the lifeblood of the team's attack, Cole Palmer, was also injured for two months due to an injury problem. Enzo Maresca asked to bring in a center-back to replace Levi Colwill, but Chelsea officials ignored him.

As a result, Chelsea's defense lacked solidity and struggled a lot. The defense was not strong and the team's attacking lifeline, Cole Palmer, was out for two months, so the team's attack also struggled. Without Cole Palmer, Chelsea's two strikers, Joao Pedro and Lime Delap, struggled a lot. When Cole Palmer was in, the team's two strikers, Joao Pedro and Lime Delap, created openings, and Cole Palmer's magical creations made it easy for them to score. However, when Cole Palmer was not in, Chelsea's attack struggled when facing teams that played well in the Low Block and Mid Block. Despite losing these two key players, coach Enzo Maresca was able to continue with the other key players and produce the best results.

Enzo Marasca has secured a decent place in the Champions League and finished second in the Premier League. Chelsea's attack has been weak lately, but the wingers have shown more strength, stamina and goal-scoring ability than before, and I have noticed that the team's defense is gradually improving. In recent games, they have been able to keep clean sheets and win difficult games. I must praise the coach Enzo Marasca for giving the team the best possible service when two of the team's key players are not present. Thank you very much to everyone who read this until the end.
