Chelsea’s Italian head coach Enzo Maresca gestures and gives indication from the touchline during the English Premier League football match against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge in London last Sunday.
But speaking ahead of Chelsea’s Conference League play-off against Servette, Maresca said criticism of the club’s transfer policy had been unfair. But he was understandably more upbeat about Joao Felix, with Maresca — whose side started the new Premier League season with a 2-0 defeat by champions Manchester City last weekend, saying: “He is a good player, a talent.
