Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca described the January transfer window as a “disaster,” with players uneasy as a result of rumors linking them to moves away from the London club, as he said on Friday.
After losing five of their previous five games, Maresca’s team dropped out of the top four.
Numerous players have been linked to moves away from Stamford Bridge.
Renato Veiga and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly having discussions this week, and Maresca has also been questioned about Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s future.
According to reports, Bayern Munich have an investigation into Christopher Nkunku and Tosin Adarabioyo, who has been linked to a move to Brighton.
All three of Ben Chilwell’s ex-girlfriends have been given permission to leave.
“On the pitch, for sure I would like to win more games, but I’m OK”, said Maresca, whose team have not won in the league since December 15.
Before Monday’s game against struggling Wolves at home, Maresca stated in a press conference, “Off the pitch, it’s a disaster because of so many noises that I don’t think help us, but I don’t think they help any club.”
“It’s for every club, every manager. When there is any noise about some player, it’s not easy, because even if you think the player can be focused on us, in the end it’s a human being. So if there is any noise about some different club, probably he is not focused 100 percent, so it doesn’t help. But we need to adapt”.
Maresca expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance despite the fact that Chelsea are 10 points behind leaders Liverpool.
“On the pitch, we’re in a business where we all judge results”, he said. “But if we judge the performances of the team, I’m happy. We create, we play.
” The performances are there (but) sometimes you don’t win games.
Top-scorer Cole Palmer is a doubt for the Wolves game, as are Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez, after all four players suffered injuries during Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
