Maresca dropped Noni Madueke from the starting lineup for the match against Aston Villa due to his training attitude, which he felt was not up to par.
“He has to understand that he has to train every day good, he has to be ambitious,” Maresca said.
Maresca emphasized that ambition and consistent effort are crucial for any player aiming to reach their full potential.
“If he scores one tonight, he has to go for the second one, the third one. He has to be ambitious, to give more assists. But overall, he’s doing great, he’s doing fantastic.
“He’s doing even better in terms of numbers, in assists and goals. But Noni has to understand he has to work more because he can be much, much, much better.”
The manager’s comments highlight the high standards at Chelsea and the club’s commitment to excellence.
As the team continues its push for a top-four finish in the Premier League, Maresca’s words will likely serve as motivation for Madueke and the rest of the squad to strive for greater heights.
Madueke, on his part, has shown glimpses of his potential, but this latest challenge from his manager could serve as the motivation he needs to elevate his game.
With Maresca’s guidance and the support of his teammates, Madueke has the opportunity to prove his worth and become a key player for Chelsea.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Madueke responds to Maresca’s tough love.
The player’s journey from promise to prominence could well hinge on his ability to heed his manager’s call and show the ambition required to succeed at the highest level.
