John Obi Mikel has weighed in on Enzo Maresca's tactical approach at Chelsea, questioning the manager's frequent rotation and stressing the importance of consistency especially within a young squad, during a recent episode of the Obi One Podcast.
Maresca's methods have been a growing topic of debate in football circles, particularly after the Chelsea head coach was recently linked with a potential future move to Manchester City as a possible successor to Pep Guardiola. The Italian tactician, however, moved quickly to shut down the speculation earlier today, reiterating his commitment to his current project and backing the Chelsea squad at his disposal .
Softfootball understands that Chelsea's tactical balance has come under further scrutiny following their dramatic comeback against Newcastle, where the Blues rallied from two goals down to earn a draw a result that keeps them firmly in contention for a UEFA Champions League place.
