Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca wants to see his squad “taking responsibility” and “showing desire” to bring the club success during the final three games of the 2024–25 campaign.
The Blues still have plenty to play for during the final two weeks of the season as they continue their battle for Champions League qualification and look to win their first trophy under Maresca in the form of the Conference League.
Chelsea play Manchester United in the Premier League on Friday as they look to cement their position in the top five and will finish up their domestic season away at Nottingham Forest. They will be hoping to have qualified for the Champions League by the time they clash with Real Betis in the Conference League final on Wednesday, May 28.
Three gargantuan encounters will push Chelsea to their limits but Maresca expects his side to rise to the occasion, especially when it comes to their mental focus and motivation.
“There are some games, like now—the one or two, three games we have—that tactics are important but it’s also other aspects,” said the Italian ahead of the clash with Man Utd. “That is players taking responsibility and also showing desire to bring this club—we said many times—where it has to be.”
