Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has firmly denied that his team is grappling with a discipline crisis, despite a recent surge in red cards. The Blues have been reduced to 10 men in three of their last four matches, including defeats against Manchester United and Brighton. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and defender Trevoh Chalobah were both sent off in those games, while forward Joao Pedro received a red card in Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League victory over Benfica. Maresca emphasized the need to evaluate each incident individually, stating that not all red cards stem from poor discipline. He highlighted the split-second decisions players must make during high-pressure moments, which can lead to unfortunate outcomes. Despite these setbacks, Maresca remains optimistic about Chelsea’s trajectory, attributing their struggles to a combination of red cards and injuries, with eight players currently sidelined. Looking ahead to their Premier League clash with Liverpool, Maresca dismissed suggestions that the Reds are vulnerable following consecutive defeats. He praised Liverpool’s resilience in the wake of Diogo Jota’s tragic passing, calling their season performance ‘fantastic.’ Maresca is confident that Chelsea will regain their form and continue to progress.
