The atmosphere around Stamford Bridge is tense following Chelsea’s shocking defeat to Sunderland — and now, Enzo Maresca’s post-match revelation has sparked even more outrage among fans.
According to reports, Maresca admitted that during the final minutes of the match, he instructed his players to abandon his original tactical setup, a decision that backfired disastrously. The change, made under pressure, led to confusion and disorganization on the pitch, ultimately resulting in a costly collapse.
“We lost control,” Maresca reportedly confessed. “At that moment, I felt we needed to react quickly, but it didn’t work as planned.”
Insiders claim the squad appeared visibly uncertain after the sudden tactical shift, with players unsure of their positions and responsibilities. What was meant to be a defensive adjustment instead became a moment of chaos — and Sunderland took full advantage.
Fans have reacted furiously on social media, accusing the manager of “panicking under pressure” and questioning his decision-making. Many are now calling for immediate change at the club, demanding stronger leadership and consistency in strategy.
With the defeat marking another setback in what has been a turbulent season for Chelsea, all eyes are now on Maresca — and whether this latest admission could spell the beginning of the end for his tenure at Stamford Bridge.
