Chelsea’s young defender Levi Colwill has opened up about his experiences under the new managerial regime at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking candidly, Colwill contrasted the approaches of Enzo Maresca and former manager Mauricio Pochettino, shedding light on why he believes Maresca has the edge.
Colwill praised Maresca’s hands-on approach, highlighting how it sets him apart. “Yeah, I spoke to him [Maresca]. Obviously, he’s on the pitch all the time, he’s a proper hands-on,” Colwill said.
This direct involvement is something the young defender greatly values, as it allows Maresca to impart his vision and tactics more effectively.
“I think if I was a coach, I think it’s the best way to be because you know how you want to play, and you can envisage it perfectly,” Colwill continued.
This hands-on method means that Maresca can directly influence and shape the team’s performance, ensuring that his strategic vision is clearly communicated and executed on the pitch.
In contrast, Colwill’s comments hint at a more detached approach under Pochettino, where the Argentine manager’s vision might not have been as directly implemented during training sessions.
This subtle difference, according to Colwill, could be crucial in achieving consistent and high-level performances from the team.
Colwill’s insights are particularly interesting as they come from a player who has experienced both managerial styles firsthand. His perspective underscores the importance of managerial presence and direct engagement in modern football.
As Chelsea prepares for the upcoming season, fans will be eager to see how Maresca’s approach translates into results on the pitch.
With players like Colwill already noticing the positive impact of Maresca’s methods, there is a renewed sense of optimism around Stamford Bridge. If Maresca can continue to effectively communicate his vision, Chelsea could be poised for a successful campaign.
