Enzo Maresca could not hide his frustration at one Chelsea player as a clip from a training session at Cobham was released.

With Euro 2024 done and dusted, the focus now turns to Premier League clubs who are trying to gear up for the new season.

One team in particular who fans will be excited to see this season are Chelsea, who acquired former Leicester City boss Maresca.

The Italian, who formerly worked with Pep Guardiola at Man City, replaced Mauricio Pochettino in his only season in charge at Stamford Bridge.

But it appears he may have a lot of work cut out fr him if we he wants to get the Blues challenging for a top four spot.

In a training clip, Maresca can be heard telling winger Noni Madueke, 'Noni, two touches, three touches is too much.'

Maresca, 44, was revealed as the new Chelsea boss last month on a five-year contract, which began on July 1.

The Italian has already made four signings, raiding his former club Leicester City by acquiring midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for a deal worth £30m, on top of bringing in Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman and Tosin Adarabioyo.

After an exciting start to the transfer window, Maresca told Chelsea's media team: 'Just trust the process, trust the idea, be behind the team.'

He added: 'For sure we are going to enjoy the journey. Like at every club, for every manager, it will not be easy because nothing is easy. But for sure we are going to enjoy our journey.’

Blues supporters have endured a tumultuous two years after witnessing, 12th and sixth-placed finishes, with three permanent bosses in that time, as well as a brief spells under Bruno Saltor and Frank Lampard.

But with Maresca now taking the reins, he wants to build a strong bond with those who follow the west London side.
