Maresca speaksPrior to today’s Conference League draw, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has hit back at claims the club lacks ambition.
He said: “I’ve always been clear since day one – I’m not here to survive, I’m here to win games, I’m here to bring this club to fight for titles.
“I’ve said this already many times but the problem is, when you win games, you look humble and when you don’t win games, you look like you lack ambition.
“Since day one, I joined this club and my intention was to win games, win titles and to bring this club where this club deserves to be.”
