I want to see what changes he will make this season because seeing from some rumors now it looks like Maresca will still make changes to Chelsea to fit the criteria he expects in Chelsea's plans next season and I'm pretty sure we will definitely see an influx of money that is not playing back from a Todd.
Todd can indeed buy players at expensive prices but sometimes the players are not as expected. Moreover, Chelsea doesn't need to buy expensive players but quality and productivity are highly sought after. It doesn't need to be expensive as long as the player is productive enough that is good enough, but I'm sure in the end if Maresca If it fails, of course the fate will be the same as Pochettino's because Chelsea can't wait and go through the process. What they want is for Chelsea to achieve the target, I don't know the vision and mission of Chelsea and Maresca, what agreement they are targeting, whether winning the EPL or other competitions. but the adaptation of the players and Maresca seems to be affecting the start of the new season.
Actually Poche did not fail if you look at what was done but the collaboration ended for several other reasons, especially about the problem of poor communication between Poche and Todd which made the situation quite complicated if it was still forced to work together. In addition, for transfer issues I think we are aware that for now Todd is indeed less effective, especially in providing offers and prices but for the problem of compatibility this should have been considered from the start because after all when a player is targeted then surely it is on the advice of several related parties such as scouts or the wishes of coaches who feel the targeted player has a good thing in terms of chemistry but indeed this is clearly difficult because some players who are brought in do not get good results and seem to be a waste of money.
But besides that, the truth is that players who are brought in at a high price also don't mean they are bad, it's just that they can't be in line with Chelsea which makes it a career slump for them.
We can take Caicedo, Enzo or even Nkunku as examples. In the previous club they played very impressively and even became the backbone of their club to be in big competitions but such good performance must be lost because Chelsea cannot maximize the potential they have.
Enzo Maresca's performance in training last season at Leicester was actually very good but when talking about the problem of tension and pressure and the targets that Leicester and Chelsea want to achieve clearly have quite a difference so that even though Maresca performed quite well last season but still there will definitely be a doubt when training Chelsea. later because after all the pressure and Chelsea's goal to be able to improve performance to be even better and again be considered as one of the clubs that is indeed a subscription to the top 4 in the EPL is clearly still the goal of Todd because he will certainly be determined to continue to try to lift Chelsea which in the last few seasons has slumped.
I want to see what changes he will make this season because seeing from some rumors now it looks like Maresca will still make changes to Chelsea to fit the criteria he expects in Chelsea's plans next season and I'm pretty sure we will definitely see an influx of money that is not playing back from a Todd.
Chelsea doesn't seem to be finished in the transfer market this summer. They will certainly continue to try to add back several young players who are considered to have potential. Currently, there are only 3 players who have officially joined Chelsea, namely Tosin, Omari and Marc Guiu. Enzo has indeed made his reputation rise quite high after successfully bringing Leicester City back to the premier league. But the challenges at Chelsea will be clearly different because everyone's expectations will also be different. It is hoped that Chelsea will return to the ranks of clubs that can compete for tickets to the top 4 rankings. And that will give Enzo greater pressure than when he was at Leicester. But I think Enzo feels quite confident in his choice to come to Chelsea. And several ongoing changes and additions to players also show Enzo's long-term planning for Chelsea next season.
Chelsea is currently also approaching Jonathan David from Lille. And that is indeed quite an aggressive move from Chelsea in the transfer market this time. And it seems that Todd has indeed provided large funds for player transfers this season.
The three of them that Chelsea brought in are young players who of course this can add a pretty good confidence because indeed with a fairly young age they can get good momentum if their performance is well honed, it's just that apart from some incoming players, they must have thought about which players will be included in the selling list because even though their finances are abundant, there must still be a reduction in players so that Chelsea does not have problems with FFP.
As for Maresca at this time it would indeed be great if he could immediately compete, especially for the top 4 but if it is still not possible I think the target in the early season should not be too excessive because in the end it will be very difficult for Maresca to do that which cannot even be obtained by several previous coaches in the last 2 seasons so for the first season I think Maresca only needs to emphasize maintaining the position that Chelsea is currently getting with Poche while changing little by little in a better direction.
