Maresca Says He’s Not Worried About PSG and Chelsea Will Prepare as Usual
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has played down any special fears about facing Paris Saint-Germain, saying his approach remains the same no matter the opponent.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s FIFA Club World Cup final at the MetLife Stadium, Maresca said he’s focused on preparation, not names. “I don’t look at PSG any differently,” he said via Chelsea’s official platform. “Just like every other team, I study how we can attack them and where we need to defend better.”
Chelsea reached the final after a solid 2-0 win over Brazil’s Fluminense, while PSG knocked out Real Madrid to book their spot. But for Maresca, the process doesn’t change. “I respect Fluminense, and I respect PSG too. It’s all about balance; how we hurt them and how to stop them from hurting us,” he added.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
