Enzo Maresca Explains Exclusion Of Enzo Fernandez From Team
Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca admits to leaving out Enzo Fernandes from his team, due to the beneficial partnership of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo in terms of strength. Maresca expresses that the duo provides more benefits than Fernandes.
“First of all it’s a matter of balance. I think in this moment Romeo [Lavia] and Moi [Caicedo], they give us also physicality, strength in the middle, and this is the reason why we put the option Malo [Gusto] in the pocket, otherwise when we play with Enzo.”
“I know that you are looking for some different reason for Enzo, but for Enzo it’s very simple, he’s not playing in this moment, we have so many games, he’s going to play for sure in the future, now he’s not going to, he’s not playing, that doesn’t man that he’s not going to play in two days.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
