ENZO MARESCA FIRES ARSENAL MESSAGE TO CHELSEA SQUAD AFTER BIG BARCA WIN
Enzo Maresca tells his Chelsea squad to take a complete 48-hour break to recharge before their crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal.
Chelsea's coach, Enzo Maresca, wants his players to take a complete break for 48 hours before their game against Arsenal.
After Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, they're getting ready to host Arsenal on Sunday.
Chelsea is currently second in the Premier League, trailing Arsenal by six points as they head into the game at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal has less time to chill since they played Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Maresca wants his team to use the extra rest to their advantage before facing Arsenal this weekend.
"I've told the players to totally forget about football for the next two days," Maresca said. Rest up and get your energy back.
Because we've got Arsenal on Sunday. My message was simple: get your energy back. That's the most important thing right now.
Then, on Friday, we'll start planning for Arsenal. We need to keep this winning feeling going because it's easier to recover when you're winning.
Football expert Gary Neville thinks Chelsea will have a tough time against Arsenal and doesn't think they're ready to challenge for the title just yet.
The Arsenal game will show us what Chelsea is really made of, Neville said.
Chelsea might make us think they could challenge for the title, but I don't see that happening as the season progresses.
But the Arsenal game is a big test, and that's how you learn about teams.
Craig Burley said that Chelsea will need to play even better than they did against Barcelona to beat Arsenal.
Believe it or not, Chelsea will have to play a lot better, Burley told ESPN. They'll need to step up their game from tonight to stand a chance against Arsenal.
Arsenal isn't going to play like Barcelona did tonight. This game will really show what Chelsea can do, even more than the Barcelona game.
The last time Chelsea hosted Arsenal, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
But Arsenal won the most recent game between them 1-0 in March.
Arsenal thrashed Tottenham 4-1 in their latest Premier League match, while Chelsea won 2-0 away at Burnley.
MESSI TALK: ENZO MARESCA'S RESPONSE TO ESTEVãO COMPARISON REVEALED
Enzo Maresca warns against comparing Estevao to Lionel Messi after the teenager's brilliant goal in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Barcelona.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca thinks it's too early to compare Estevao to Lionel Messi. This comes after Estevao, the Brazilian player, scored in Chelsea's 3-0 win against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge (a game where Barcelona had 10 players).
Even though the 18-year-old's goal was a highlight, Maresca wants to keep the young winger focused. When asked if Estevao's goal reminded him of Messi, Maresca said:
Estevao just needs to chill out, have fun, train, and play.
He and Lamine are so young. If we start talking about Messi or Ronaldo, it puts too much stress on them. They need to enjoy themselves, come to training happy, and work hard. Comparing them to Messi or Ronaldo is just too much right now.”
Maresca has been trying to shield Estevao, who has only started four Premier League games for Chelsea this season.
When asked if Estevao's good play would make it harder to keep him from starting more often, Maresca insisted that Chelsea has a lot of good players, so there's no need to rush Estevao's progress.
“No, not really. If he doesn't play, Pedro Neto can play on the wing. And Pedro is good. We like Pedro. "We just try to stick to our strategy and use all 11 players," Maresca said.
“Tonight, in what was maybe our toughest game this season, we decided to play Estevao. I let players play.
“It’s all about the strategy. The strategy decides who starts. That’s why we make so many changes. People say we’re unpredictable, but it’s just the strategy.
“Next up is Arsenal. The strategy isn’t always perfect; sometimes it’s wrong. But it picks the starting 11. When the strategy calls for Estevao, he’ll play. And he’ll definitely play a lot because he’s very talented.”
PUNDIT HAILS MARC CUCURELLA: BEST LEFT-BACK PERFORMANCE IN AGES
Wayne Rooney praises Marc Cucurella after Chelsea's 3-0 win over Barcelona, calling it the best left-back performance he's seen.
After Chelsea's 3-0 win against Barcelona (who ended the game with 10 players), Wayne Rooney gave Marc Cucurella props. He said it was the best performance he'd seen from a left-back in ages.
Estevao stole the show that night in front of the Stamford Bridge crowd. Thanks to him, Enzo Maresca’s team is now fifth in the league.
The Brazilian teenager stood out in the first half and scored a great goal in the 55th minute, making Chelsea's lead 2-0. Earlier, Jules Kounde scored an own goal.
Estevao got the ball on the right, dribbled past Pau Cubarsi near the box, and then shot the ball into the net from a tough angle.
With the score at 3-0, Chelsea fans started teasing Lamine Yamal, chanting, You’re just a s*** Estevao. Liam Delap came on and scored the final goal with 17 minutes left.
Cucurella also played a key role in Barcelona going down to 10 men right before halftime. Ronald Araujo fouled him, leaving Slavko Vincic no choice but to give Araujo a second yellow card.
Rooney, while talking about the game on Amazon Prime, had great things to say about Cucurella:
Estevao has probably given Cucurella the best lessons in training that he could have in dealing with Lamine Yamal, the ex-Manchester United and England forward said.
Cucurella was amazing. It’s probably the best I’ve seen a left-back play in a very long time. What he did tonight shows he’s a serious player.
