Maresca defends Chelsea style amid fan discontent
Briefly

Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's coach, expressed confidence in his team's direction following a challenging draw against Ipswich Town. Despite falling to sixth in the standings, he believes the squad is on the right track, citing their successful run toward a Europa Conference League semifinal. Maresca emphasized that fan support is crucial for the team’s morale and progress, and acknowledged that while the team has faced criticism, they are improving this season compared to previous years. He remains optimistic about their future and believes they can elevate their performance in the upcoming season.
Chelsea have been top four almost all season. Compared to the last two seasons, where the team has been zero times [in the] top four. I think it's quite clear that the direction is the right one, the style is the right one.
I think football belongs to the fans because they are the main part. And as a team, as a club, when your fans support you, it's important because the players can receive that feeling.
What happened last year, two years ago, I was not here, I don't have an idea -- I'm not going to judge because it's difficult. But this season, we are [improving fast].
We need to play in the right way, create chances, try to score goals. Because at the end, if you score goals also the mood changes for everyone.
