"Absolutely Wrong" – Enzo Maresca Criticizes Playing on Deadline Day

The transfer window in England recently closed, and Chelsea played on deadline day. However, head coach Enzo Maresca has spoken out against scheduling matches on such crucial dates.

Details: Ahead of Chelsea’s next Premier League fixture, the Italian manager expressed his frustration, arguing that playing on deadline day is unfair. His team lost two strikers during the game and had no time to find replacements before the window shut.

Quote: "Playing on deadline day is absolutely wrong. We finished our match at 22:00, and the deadline was at 23:00. You can't plan for losing two strikers in one game," Maresca stated.

Chelsea will play their next Premier League match on Friday, February 14, away against Brighton, with kickoff set for 21:00 CET.

Reminder: Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has outlined his objective to return the London club to the UEFA Champions League. According to him, the club’s management has set a two-year target for the Blues to regain their place in Europe's elite competition.
