Enzo Maresca took to social media to issue a statement following Chelsea's victory over Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday. The Blues defeated the basement dwellers 1-0, but it was another tense outing for Maresca, whose tactics had been booed by the Chelsea faithful.

Maresca has previously defended the team’s style under his leadership, which prioritises possession over quick transitions, and the patience of fans was tested again here as chances to hit Leicester on the counter-attack were passed up in favour of slowing the pace of the match.
