Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca defends his playing style after defensive mistakes in 2-2 draw with League One Wrexham in Santa Clara, California.
Chelsea's Noni Madueke and Ben Chilwell after a 2-2 draw with League One Wrexham in Chelsea's first US pre-season tour match.Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said his side "are going to concede goals this season playing out from the back" after two defensive errors in a 2-2 draw with Wrexham in his first game in charge.
The defensive errors were part of a weak second-half performance as Chelsea adapt to Maresca's possession-based approach. "For sure, we did many things we can improve, but we started just two weeks ago. Tonight was important to start seeing the identity of the team and the identity is there."The match started in lively fashion with Levi Colwill and James McClean escaping red cards following an early bust up.
Chelsea's equaliser came from a slick move involving substitutes Angelo Gabriel, Armando Broja and Ugochukwu, who made up for his earlier mistake by sliding in a good left foot finish to level the match.
