Enzo Maresca has admitted that Chelsea has to struggle at both ends of the field because they are on just three wins from 12 games.
The blues were outside of the competitor for the Premier League title in December, but did not use a friendly selection of games, with the defeat on Saturday against Aston Villa in the latest league ranking.
When asked to explain what went wrong for his side, Maresca insisted that Chelsea simply lost their touch both and defense.
“There is probably more than one reason,” he started. “I think in the last seven, eight, ten games was the big difference for me especially in the box – in both boxes.
“[Apart from] Brighton away in the Premier League, in all others we have always created chances, we almost always scored a goal, so that the difference was probably in the penalty area. We have to be defensively stronger and clinical if we have the chance. “
The quantification of Chelseas fights is a record of 13 points that have dropped from the winner positions since Boxing Day, more than any other team in the division.
“I don’t know [what that tells me]”Said Maresca when he was presented with the statistics.” I have no answer for it. I knew that we dropped 13 points of profit positions.
“Sometimes it’s football. Sometimes there is a reason. We try to understand a little. The good is to try to protect it.
“In almost all of these games we analyze the chances of going from 1-0 to 2: 0, from 0: 1 to 0: 2, and we miss more than once. We also had four villa as the other day, we had four or Five opportunities for 0-2, 0-2, 0-2.
