“I think so” – Fabrizio Romano makes an emotional statement about Chelsea

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano believes Chelsea are serious title contenders this season following their impressive performances under new manager Enzo Maresca.

The Italian tactician quickly transformed the team, putting them in a strong position to challenge for the Premier League title.

The Blues sacked Mauricio Pochettino at the end of last season, a decision that shocked many, especially after the strong end to the season.

However, the appointment of Enzo Maresca, who led Leicester City back to the Premier League, proved to be a masterstroke.

And he has impressed in his short time at Chelsea so far, with the young squad starting to show incredibly promise.

He has Chelsea in 4th place in the table, with 4 wins out of 6. Their only defeat of the season so far was against Manchester City.

The Blues have played brilliant attacking football under Maresca, scoring 23 goals in all competitions and averaging 2.5 goals per game. Cole Palmer has been outstanding for the second season running, continuing to impress in his second season at the club.

Romano: Chelsea are title contenders

When asked on the Debrief Podcast whether Romano sees Maresca’s team as title contenders, Romano said:

“I think they are, for sure. I think they are. They will be there to compete.”

Romano highlighted that despite the challenges of competing in the Premier League, the harmony between Maresca and the squad created a positive atmosphere at the club, making it a real threat in the title race:

“We know that in England, in the Premier League, it is never easy. So it’s never guaranteed, even when you have a fantastic team. But I think Chelsea can be there. Especially because the chemistry with the coach has been excellent.”

“The team is very happy with the way he is handling things and the club always feels the same, so I think it is a very positive situation around Chelsea, probably the best moment after the arrival of the new owners and now you you can see how completely different it is. .”

“…they are already very happy with what they have and I think
they will be competitors, yes.”

If Chelsea continue to play the way they are, they could prove to be serious title contenders, alongside Manchester City and Arsenal.
