Maresca remains optimistic despite Chelsea's 'worst moment'

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has addressed the team's recent poor form, describing it as the 'worst moment' of their season, following a 4-0 victory over Southampton that momentarily halted their slide.
Despite the recent setbacks, Chelsea find themselves in fourth place, just one point behind third-placed Nottingham Forest, a fact Maresca used to highlight the team's impressive early-season form.
"I just said to the players that we are in our worst moment in terms of results but we are fourth and one point from third and that is us in our worst moment," Maresca stated, emphasising the significance of their current league position.
The former Leicester manager's statements come after the Blues' recent struggles as they lost three consecutive games ahead of the match against Southampton.
The Italian Maresca offers a balanced view of Chelsea's season, acknowledging the current difficulties while reminding his squad of their previous successes.
The Stamford Bridge outfit now prepare for their upcoming fixtures, including the Conference League last-16 tie against Copenhagen.
