Maresca ‘worried’ about Djurgarden’s artificial pitch

Enzo Maresca, manager of Chelsea, is “worried” about playing in the Conference League semi-final on a highly controversial artificial surface.

On a pitch that even the Swedish club’s manager Jani Honkavaara described as “horrible” after a game against GAIS last week, the Blues take on Djurgarden on Thursday.

Players at Djurgarden and rival managers have voiced their opinions on the 3Arena pitch.

Prior to the match against Chelsea, extra sand was added to improve the surface’s quality.

Maresca, who has watched replays of Djurgarden’s previous six games in recent days, is aware that the pitch could have problems.

He said, “It may be a concern.” I’m concerned about that a little bit. It completely differs from grass[/.

“I am aware that some of their players have voiced their concerns about the pitch in recent weeks.” They perform every week, so each week’s schedule is different for us.

“But there are no justifications, no justifications for our failure to compete in the second game and tomorrow.”

Chelsea are undoubtedly the favorites to advance despite the pitch. The Premier League comes in first and Swedish Allsvenskan, respectively, in the Uefa league rankings, with Transfermarkt reporting that Chelsea’s squad is worth 44 times more than the hosts’.

Despite Chelsea hosting Liverpool on Sunday with Champions League qualification still in doubt, Maresca said he would not rest players. “We are not in a moment where we can say we decide to save players,” he added.

We want to be in the semi-final because this is a competition that is “European.”

Chelsea have their strongest available squad in Sweden, but Christopher Nkunku and Robert Sanchez are unable to travel for the game because of minor injuries that are pending evaluation.

Maresca continued, “We go for the title now that we are in the semi-final, and the next target is the final.”

Because it’s a European competition, this club will have the chance to be the only one in the world to win every European competition. I also have a responsibility for the players and for them to obtain that.

Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, acknowledged that the semi-final of the Conference League was “worrying” because he had been playing on a highly scrutinized artificial surface.

On Thursday night, the Blues travel to Djurgarden on a pitch that even the Swedish club’s manager, Jani Honkavaara, described as “horrible” after a game against GAIS last week.

Players and rival managers at Djurgarden have echoed his criticism of the 3Arena pitch.

Prior to the upcoming game against Chelsea, extra sand has been added to improve the surface’s quality.

Maresca, who has watched their last six games over the course of the past few days, is aware that the pitch could have problems.

“For certain, for certain,” the phrase means. It might be a problem. That’s causing me a little anxiety. It completely differs from grass,” he claimed.

“I am aware that some of their players have voiced their concerns about the pitch in recent weeks.” They perform every week, so each week’s schedule is different for us.

But there are no justifications or justifications for the absence of both the second game and tomorrow.

Chelsea are undoubtedly the favorites to advance despite the pitch. The Premier League comes in first place and Swedish Allsvenskan comes in 20th, with Chelsea’s squad costing 44 times more, according to Transfermarkt, according to Uefa’s league rankings.

Despite Chelsea hosting Liverpool on Sunday with the final chance of winning the Champions League, Maresca said: “We are not in a moment where we can say we decide to save players.

We want to be in the semi-final because this is a competition in Europe.

Chelsea have their strongest available squad in Sweden, but Christopher Nkunku and Robert Sanchez are unsure of their fitness levels and are currently being evaluated.

Maresca continued, “We now have the semi-finals to prepare for, and the final is our next objective, and if we can make it to the final, we must win.”

Because it’s a European competition, this club will have the chance to be the only one in the world to win every European competition. I also have a responsibility for the players to obtain that.

Kim Kardashian’s son had her fans baffled as he left a very confusing post on her Instagram account. Saint West, nine, managed to get into his famous mum’s phone and made sure to put it to good use.

He decided to share an unusual post to Kim’s 375million fans. Kim, who shares her four children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, with ex Kanye West, regularly posts updates to her eye-watering amount of followers. However, Saint’s post stood out against Kim’s usual social media activity that typically includes family snaps, shots for her brand SKIMS and selfies.

He was able to upload a screenshot of the Roblox game on his own YouTube channel. Saint’s username was inserted along with “Subscribe to Saint’s channel.”

Saint quickly received praise for using Kim’s popularity to gain some of his own. One person said, “He’s really going for it.”

Another stated, “Aww baby has a YouTube channel.” Give mom her phone back, someone said, “Saint, please!” Fourth wrote, “Saint done hacked the IG for the promotion lolol.. smart man.”

Yet another fan pleaded, “Saint, put moms phone down,” while another begged, “Girl tell ur son to get off ur phone.”

Kim allegedly forced her son to sign a contract before allowing him to launch his own YouTube channel last year. Kim wanted to make sure her son stays safe online, but he appears to be trying to make a name for himself.

He must adhere to seven strict guidelines, according to what she allegedly created. According to them, he is prohibited from filming while sister North is “recording music,” and he is also prohibited from divulging any personal family information.

I, Saint West, consent to abide by my mother’s guidelines in order to have a YouTube channel, Kim shared a screenshot of the contract on Instagram. Any personal information about my family is not permitted to come in. Any personal information I may film is prohibited.

“Saint’s contract continued,” “I’m not allowed to film while North is making music,” and “I have to post all of my videos to my mother or guardian.

If my mother requests the removal of my video for any reason, I grant permission to any adult. My mother may make my page private or delete my account if I don’t follow all of the rules.

At the bottom of the piece of paper, the youngster put his name on the document. Saint Saint has a solid contract with this YouTube channel, Kim wrote next to the Instagram photo.

He better avoid breaking it. After agreeing to a long-term agreement, Kim also shared a screenshot of the channel and said, “I finally allowed Saint to have a YouTube channel!” Please subscribe, I’m sorry.

Kim has seen herself locked in a very public dispute with her children’s father, Kanye. Earlier this month, Kim rubbished claims from the controversial rapper that he hadn’t seen his kids this year.

In January, Kanye and Saint, age 9, took to Instagram to claim that he hadn’t seen him in 2025.

A source close to Kim told the Daily Mail: “Kanye has been in LA recently for a few months and didn’t ask to see the kids aside from North until a week before he was leaving again.

Kim is very careful not to place the children in chaotic situations, even though he can see them whenever he wants and there are no limitations. Her children are foremost in her mind.

Curran hits his best IPL score but CSK out after loss

Chennai, the Indian Premier League

Chennai Super Kings 190 (19.2 overs): Curran 88 (47), Chahal 4-32

Punjab Kings 194-6 (19.4 overs): Iyer 72 (41), Prabhsimran 54 (36)

Four wickets later, the Punjab Kings won.

After defeating the Punjab Kings despite Sam Curran’s 88, the Chennai Super Kings’ chances of making it to the Indian Premier League play-offs are over.

England All-rounder Curran’s highest IPL score, which was the backbone of CSK’s 190 all out, was the result of Punjab’s two balls of chase, winning by four wickets with a late stutter.

Only six players left after the final two overs, including opener Prabhsimran Singh, who had already hit a majestic 72, Shreyas Iyer and who had hit a magnificent 54.

Iyer was bowled with nine balls to go when Suryansh Shedge followed with one, but Marco Jansen inside edged for four to win.

After losing eight of their past ten games, CSK’s hopes were effectively over, but their fate has now been confirmed.

Curran, England’s white-ball team’s player of the year at the start of the year, was dropped from their 2022 T20 World Cup squad, meaning he was unable to travel to India and win the Champions Trophy.

In his three previous appearances in the IPL this year, he had scored in the top 40, but this time he managed to hold together a struggling batting line-up.

The 26-year-old targeted the leg-side boundary with a nine four and four sixes against the side that let him go last year.

At the start of a collapse of six wickets in 12 balls, including a hat-trick for leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, he was caught behind in the 18th over.

In four more deliveries, he took four wickets, starting with MS Dhoni, Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad.

In Thursday’s IPL game between the Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, will have another chance to shine after a century that came against him on Monday.
