we're here at cam Chelsea's training
ground and I'm here to meet the Chelsea
manager Enzo moresa I want to find out
what makes him tick and what he's done
to get this place in much better
condition than when he came Enzo thank
you very much for coming on to uh TNT
Sports between the lines uh really
appreciate having you here how you
enjoying it so far here at Chelsea no
I'm very happy very happy since we start
uh uh the way we want to play the the
way we want to install our style is
working quite well even if it's still
very early and we have many things to do
better what have you enjoyed most since
coming into this new club new
environment new job the the the football
side the pitch side that is the the the
things that I like most in terms of work
every day training session and is the
one that I'm very uh keen and you talk
about the pitch side yeah but obviously
off the pitch there's a lot of
importance a lot of attention goes to
that how how how have you found that
part because obviously this is a bigger
job than you've been used to and that
that that pressure and the attention how
have you managed to deal with that so
well yeah as you said especially at the
beginning there was there were many
noises around the club but uh I always
said that if you want to be focused on
that side you waste energy uh the most
important thing is is what I can control
that is as I said the pitch side and I
was just focus on that and I think is is
the main the main part for me you do
have control though off the pitch as
well you know I mean because what you do
say can have big impacts on individuals
but also on the club as a whole and
yourself yeah but probably it's a
consequence of what you do inside the
pitch and then you can calm down the
noises outside the pitch because if you
do the right thing inside the pitch
probably everything around the club come
down and you uh and it's better for
everyone what have you found the big
differences cuz obviously your journey
Academy football um obviously then after
that coaching high but also than Lester
and come in here what are the
differences between Academy and the
first team for me you have two different
way to try to uh deal with them in terms
of if you treat them as a kids probably
you don't help them because you need to
help them to grow and if you treat them
as a men probably still too early
because they are still young to 20 so
you have to find the right balance but
uh the way to help them for me is just
to to to to show them the reality that
probably when they move from the academy
to the
professional is not the same environment
and and and you looking at your time
here so far short time not many games
not even halfway through the season yet
are you ahead of schedule of where you
expected to be or or yeah for sure in
terms of uh the way we are playing on
the ball and of the ball because many
times when we mention the way we are
playing people think on the ball but
also off the ball I think we try to
change many things and we are ahead of
my expectation for sure well we'll get
into that I'm sure later on but this is
a a nice little we top of the league
here for for youngest team in the league
big difference between the two years two
years like was was that something that
you identified before you even came here
and you that maybe excited you because
you know this age group I knew our young
was the squad but uh the first time I
met the club uh I was very excited
especially
because last year we Face Chelsea in FA
Cup so I watch many Chelsea game to
analyze and I always thought that uh the
squad is very good no matter the age
they are good player for sure uh the age
count in terms of experience but uh you
can build something important with the
with this age is it easier to coach
younger players do you think you've been
around older players while you've
coaching what do you find or do you
enjoy coaching younger players more
depends always for instance last year I
work with Jimmy vardy at leester that
everyone was thinking he always play
counter attacker he struggled to link to
drop and
Link but it was fantastic so probably
it's not about the age it's about how is
the the the person you can have 25 or 30
years old or 20 if you want to learn and
you are open mind you can do at any age
like Jim in this case but probably with
young because they they they are so
young they are probably they want to
learn a bit more always open ears to to
listen well let's look at your in
possession the way you guys are your
Tactical setup I've been really
impressed like you said that with the
ball but also without the ball the way
that you guys have a really defined
shape and you you can talk me through it
here you start obviously with a back
three but these guys are very important
but that pivot position
obviously very important for the way you
guys play yeah they are very important
for many reason first of all because
they give us balance but also if you
stop now the idea is if if uh if they
are in the right position that for us
they have to be in Behind These two
players because we are already three
players there so if they are in behind
between the lines between yeah they can
receive the ball like in this case but
also sometimes even if they don't
receive the ball they can attract one of
these two guys and that means that
probably we have space with Malo Gust in
this case or exactly or with Cole uh to
to to to allow him to have a little bit
more space so this position for sure
it's very important on the ball and off
the ball also because as you can see the
picture in case we lose the ball here
for any reason that we can lose the ball
they are one two three and four against
three so they are they are also
important in the moment that they lose
the ball how we adap and defend in that
moment great and and one thing I'll I'll
um wanted to touch on here in this shape
normally we see fullbacks in recent
years that inverted into into these
positions here yeah but in your case
your
fullback is playing very high almost
like a number eight stroke 10 what is
the first of all is for the dynamic for
the skills of the fullback in this case
we have fullback that is Malo Gusto we
also use marur against bourou in the
pocket attacking mid the Fielder and
they can do that they can do that and
other reason is in our case because in
this moment we found
two proper old
midfielder probably we don't need to
bring fullback inside here so because we
keep them in that position and we move
uh in the in the pocket attacking mid
the Fielder also moving from here to
there also you can a little bit surprise
this player because especially in this
game we contact with the Malo arriving
from here and he was watching the action
in this side so he CES from this side
and surpris a little bit create 2v ons
exactly this is the goal yeah what I
like as well what I this what I see here
with the guys you tell me but moving out
here and staying out wide here attracts
these guys brings them here and it's
creating beautiful spaces for a mobile
Runner to get in and get around you know
and get into those Pockets there is that
the aim of this yeah absolutely but
especially if you stop here stop here in
In This Moment moment what we work in
this game preparation was to work with
these two players always moving like
this and like this rotating yeah because
they were follow of the one from side
ball I don't know if in English it's
correct they were following the guy that
was in this side yeah so we move him to
create space for Moy okay and when the
ball was in this side we move Mo and
Romeo was moving here and always
receiving so exactly what happened for
this goal exactly you can see now Mo
receiving the ball so Lavia runs here to
create that pocket you just mentioned
here exactly and that's where the goal
comes from so that was in kind of the
middle part of the pitch this is
obviously when you're get pressed from a
set restart and you need to sometimes
find maybe different options and here
you guys have gone and you look at the
top of the pitch you got you guys here
four of you guys and created that kind
of bit of a lane well five of you
actually with Cole but there's that big
area that you can go over the is that a
big big part of what you plan B AB yeah
no especially because Newcastle they
press men to men yeah so as you can see
if you stop here the only one that is
free is the keeper so from there you
have to organize out the way you want to
attack you cannot
say because all of all of us we are
marking so the only one free is the
keeper in this moment you have to
organize in the way you want attack as
you can see here there is a huge space
here and we use that
then you've switched that now into a
four V3 yeah it's perfect the the you
know you have been you have been top
Center Defender when You Face team that
they Mark men to men if you are able to
beat your man you have over you have an
extra player so in this case NCO is able
to beat I think barns barns yeah so it's
is still meant to men is still meant to
men is sh that he was in charge for Co
now it's four against three but the
reason why is because Nico beat his man
we always said guys prepare ourself
while we attack to defend so in this
case we are attacking but we are
preparing ourself to defend is that just
repetition on a training ground or is it
you got to get the right Personnel to
understand them r or what no no no
depends sometimes for instance you can
see here 2b1 sometimes depends who is
the striker we also set one B1 because
if you want to be more aggressive here
probably it's better if you are one V
one here that could be a risk but
sometimes depends with the profile of
the N quick number n exactly so we ad
that a little bit
and we try always to see the the the
other team when we attack how many
players they they leave out they leave
higher and to to try to match them here
again we spoke about the importance of
you two two of your guys in the top top
six in terms of tackles that role there
is becoming more and more important in
the modern game rodri took balandor best
midfielder in the world what what do you
identify as the key components for this
player F first of all uh they have to be
good in the in our team they have to be
good in in both face the way we want to
attack and the way we want to Def defend
so this is this is very
important probably you can see now that
most of the team they go in One
Direction that is more physicality
player in the middle as you said rodri
is for instance is one of them but you
can see Liverpool Arsenal with the rice
party you can see even Marino you can
see now that probably the direction is
midfielder that they can be also
physicality strong then depends a little
bit also the game because sometimes you
can go inside with a player when you go
inside with the fullback for instance ma
Malo Gusto probably
physicality physically you are not so
strong like when you are with the Kao
and Lavia so it depends a little bit the
the game plan Co Palmer I think you
probably expected us to get him on the
screen at some point playing a new
position before we start it what is the
difference in his position what did you
identify to change twe's position this
season so the first time we Chang him
was Newcastle atom that he he scored
goal and he was probably a player of the
match in that game the reason why is
because uh Newcastle they had in in this
side Jo inton mhm so if we left cool in
that side probably was marking men to
man from Jo Ellington and was probably
difficult for him so the idea was to
move him from the right pocket to the
left pocket and in that game works quite
well so the reason why is just to to to
try to give Cole more space because we
know that if we are able to contact with
him he has quality and he is going to
help us to win the game like uh like in
Brighton game everyone at City they they
knew how good they SC the only problem
is that having so many players there is
difficult to to to to give all of them
minutes
so no one at City thought that Co was
not good enough no doubt uh so the
transition I said the good thing for him
is that he is today in exactly in the
same way he was three years ago with
under 23 or two years ago with City he
he didn't change he's always the same
humble guy professional every time we
start the session is the first outside
playing with the ball it's like a kids
he love he loves to play football and he
exactly the same and you see when he
contact with the ball our up is we we
said that if we are able to improve
players we improve as a team so we spend
almost every day every day we do some
some extra work with the defensive
position Winger Striker Defender
midfielder depends a little bit for
instance if you analyze the Brighton
game uh we prepared the game because
they were quite I line so we we prepare
to attack him behind against team that
they come and they wait you have to
prepare the game in different way how
are you on Partnerships around the pitch
as well obviously you got the Legends
Frank Lampard and D rugar when they
combine for goals Co power and Nicholas
Jackson way behind but it's a new
partnership it seems that's kind of
forming are you aware of that
partnership between them no I know that
uh they
together they uh score goals and assist
I don't know exactly the right the right
numbers but uh they are helping as a lot
also Nicholas of the ball the way he's
pressing I was going to can I touch on
him because I think he's been unfairly
criticized at times in the media uh by
different different people different
Publications what does he bring to your
team that you really like really
appreciate and love first of all is uh
helping us a lot in the way we want to
play because he dropping is linking and
he doing fantastic that and everyone
probably at the beginning they no no one
expected this from n and he's doing he's
doing very well then in in terms of
numbers he score goals assist since we
start the we want to press go men to man
it's always aggressive it's always there
and this is doing fantastic well Enzo
thank you very much really really
impressed with your team and the way you
prepared everything thanks for your time
thank you thank you very much thanks
oh
