On Thursday, there is another meeting between city rivals Chelsea and Tottenham. In the previous meeting, Chelsea picked up three points after a terrific game that ended 3-4 to the away team. At Stamford Bridge, both managers are under a lot of pressure. Postecoglou for not sinking further towards the relegation zone, Maresca for not losing his Champions League ticket in the run-up after several weak results.
During the international break, there are usually a few lowered shoulders for the Premier League players who are not called up for national team duty. With Enzo Maresco, there is no such thing as lowering the standard, something the Chelsea players felt.

Before the Tottenham game, the Chelsea manager was asked if it was true that he had withdrawn a day off for Chelsea players earlier in the month. It is said to have happened during a friendly match during the international break, where Maresca was going to test the players he had at his disposal. The opponent was a group of youth players in the club, where the youngsters won against Chelsea’s first team by a whopping 3-0.
“Yes, but it’s nothing. I have had high demands since I started at the club. There was an international break, no official matches and not many players. So it’s normal to be a little more relaxed, but I don’t allow that, so we decided to train the next day,” the Chelsea manager said, according to Football London.
