Enzo Maresca told he will ‘regret’ what he said to Chelsea star before Southampton win

Jens Lehmann has criticised Enzo Maresca’s recent message to Filip Jorgensen about avoiding. Long balls and is confident the Chelsea head coach will ‘regret’ what he said in the future.

Summer signing Jorgensen took over from เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง Robert Sanchez as Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper earlier this month and has starte the club’s last four matches in the Premier League.

And while Jorgensen’s first showings in a Chelsea shirt have shaky to say the least, Maresca has confirme that he intends to stick with the 22-year-old for the time being.

A clean sheet in the Blues’ rampant 4-0 win over Southampton will have done Jorgensen’s confidence the world of good on Tuesday night and the youngster will hope for a similar result this weekend against Leicester.

However, there were several occasions across the 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea’s home support voice their frustrations with the Dane’s insistence on playing short passes out from the back.

But facing the media after the victory, Maresca reveale that Jorgensen was simply ‘following the plan’ and carrying out the instructions he had given him in the build-up.

‘My message to Filip was, “If you play long balls, I will change you”, and he was just doing what I said to him,’ Maresca told.

‘It’s difficult for Filip, and it’s difficult for Robert [Sanchez] too. All the ‘keepers, they are just following the plan.’

When informe of Maresca’s remarks while appearing as a guest on ex-Arsenal and Germany goalkeeper Lehmann was taken aback.

‘I was surprise that the Chelsea coach use that phrase,’ Lehmann – an integral member of Arsenal’s fabled Invincibles side – responde.

‘To be honest, probably he will regret that because it’s not about playing a certain style. It’s about winning a game.’
