Maresca is so sweet next season, he has choice number 9.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is excited about the 2025-26 season. When he will have at least two professional strikers to rely on in Nicholas Jackson or Liam Delap. Not to mention Pedro Neto, who could threaten opposition as a false nine.

Maresca has given up on Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guehiu is just a youngster waiting to be polished. So the prospect of Delap joining Jackson , who should be fitter for the new season is exciting for the Italian.  ทางเข้า UFABET 

“Last season we tried to find different ways to threaten different opponents. With different weapons and also had two or three months without Nicolas and Marc.” he told Chelsea TV after beating LAFC 2-0 in their opening Club World Cup group game. 

“We tried to find different solutions, but of course when you have two strikers in Nico and Liam. It’s a good feeling for the head coach.”

“You know you can choose either one. It’s a really good choice.” 

Maresca also mentioned Neto, a winger who is diligent in scoring goals for the team. As another reliable weapon, and a good-natured player. 

“Pedro is still very good, very professional and trains hard every day,” added the Blues boss, who is in his second season at the helm. “Like last night. He played very well. Since he has been with us, he has played very well.” 

“The forecast for next season is that he will be better in terms of goals and assists. But overall we are very satisfied with Pedro.”

The only real tease from this victory was the Mercedes – Benz Stadium. Which was packed with just 22,137 out of a capacity of 70,000 .
