Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho discussed his experience with the new Chelsea coach, Enzo Maresca, after transferring from Manchester United. He reflects on Maresca’s impact on the players and his coaching style.
Jadon Sancho said “He’s a very good coach and he understands players, but he’s very hard on you if you don’t do the right stuff. I feel like every player is buying into how he works, and are eager to learn. My first talk with him, I got a good feeling, a good impression and so I wanted to play under him. It was just like when I entered the room I felt his aura, his presence, especially when he’s talking to you because he’s played the game so he has a lot of experience. He can teach all the guys something, so I feel like it was good. He tells everybody to work hard every day – and I think if you don’t work hard you don’t play.”
Sancho elaborated on the specific instructions and expectations Maresca has for him as a player in the team.
Jadon Sancho said “I feel like every player understands how he wants us to work and again, personally, he’s told me to just do what I usually do, go 1vs1, create space for others and just try to get into the right positions for us and to create scoring opportunities. He likes each player to play at least one or two positions – in case you’re needed in those areas or if players are not available.”
