Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his frustration with Noni Madueke’s attitude toward training, despite the player’s solid performance in their 5-1 victory over Southampton on Wednesday.

Madueke was included in the starting lineup for the match and even managed to get on the scoresheet, but his manager was not entirely pleased with his overall commitment.

Maresca revealed that, although he has a personal relationship with Madueke, he believes the player could achieve much more.

He criticized the winger for dropping his intensity in training whenever he hits a good patch of form.

Maresca pointed out that, while Madueke shows glimpses of brilliance when he scores or provides assists, he tends to ease off and become less focused.

The Chelsea manager explained that Madueke’s absence from the starting lineup against Aston Villa was due to his disappointing attitude in training.

Maresca emphasized that, for a player of Madueke’s potential, maintaining a high level of ambition and consistently giving his best during every training session is crucial for continued success.

“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
