Chelsea Advances in UEFA Conference League Amid Challenges

Enzo Maresca is managing Chelsea's deep squad as the team advances to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Conference League, with players like Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka potentially seeking transfers. Chelsea has shown strong performance in the Premier League, winning five successive matches and closing in on Liverpool at the top of the table. The team also faces off-field issues, such as Mykhailo Mudryk's positive drugs test, though Maresca has expressed support for Mudryk, who claims innocence. Upcoming matches against Everton and Shamrock Rovers could see Chelsea temporarily topping the Premier League. Maresca's tactical approach, inspired by Pep Guardiola, has contributed to Chelsea's assertive play style and could be crucial in upcoming matches.
