Pep Guardiola Criticizes Enzo Maresca Over Chelsea Star’s Lack of Game Time
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has weighed in on Chelsea’s squad management, questioning Enzo Maresca’s decision to sideline a talented player who just delivered a stunning performance for his national team. The unnamed Chelsea star, often left on the bench at Stamford Bridge, proved his worth on the international stage by winning the Man of the Match award in his latest outing.
Guardiola didn’t hold back, suggesting that Maresca is favoring certain players while overlooking others who could make a real impact. “He’s not giving this player enough game time. Just look at how he performs for his country,” Guardiola stated, emphasizing the stark contrast between the player’s club and international performances.
This statement has fueled debate among Chelsea fans, many of whom have questioned Maresca’s selections. Despite struggling for minutes at Chelsea, the player’s recent display showcased his true potential, raising concerns about his underutilization at club level.
The question remains: Why isn’t he shining for Chelsea the way he does for his country? Guardiola seems to believe that Maresca’s choices are holding the player back. As pressure mounts, it remains to be seen whether the Chelsea boss will reconsider his approach.
