Maresca: This Chelsea is different! I believe you!

Chelsea head coach Maresca recently said Duan Ting's "hard" words in the face of media doubts and criticism. He said: "For me personally, the problem is generally with you (the media). You think this is Chelsea many years ago, and it is different."

He emphasized that the team is "building something important" and should not be used or judged by Chelsea in the past. This was said after they won the "key game" of Manchester United. With certain results as support, it sounds like they are a little harder.

is different? It's really different! I totally agree with this!

If you want to say "different", the money will be spent too differently! We have talked before that in the past three years, Chelsea has spent a total of 1.3 billion euros in the transfer market! Where did Chelsea have this "momentum" of spending money many years ago? ! This ability to spend money is really different!

But the question is, is this "different" what the fans want? After spending so much money, what is the stability of the team's performance? Where is the tactical system? Especially the embarrassment of not even a useful center in the front line. Isn’t this the “different” that fans have been thinking day and night? ! Is this what you are saying is "the important thing to build"?

He also praised Kukurelia by name, saying that he was "very good, very smart, very smart, and knew when to appear in the right place." How do you say this... In the minds of many Chelsea fans, Kukurelia's evaluation is quite "complex".

Some fans may not be satisfied with his performance this season, and even have many doubts. Is Maresca truly loves him to this level or wants to convey some message by praising a "controversial player"? This always sounds strange and can easily cause complex emotions and even complain about fans.

I think Maresca's words are half to cheer himself and the team, and the other half are a bit of plagiarizing the media and diverting their attention? Blaming the problem on “stereotypes” rather than facing the reality of mismatch between input and output.

Don't always say "different", speak with stable grades and visible trophys! Just talking about "building", when can we "build" come true and produce results?

What is Chelsea now? Is it the hope of rising, or the "rich disease" that is still struggling with huge investment? Is Maresca's counterattack really confident, or is it a helpless defense in the face of huge pressure?
