The standout player for Chelsea is being urged to improve by Enzo Maresca, who says, “We need it immediately.”
Despite the fact that Noni Madueke, a winger for Chelsea, scored for the fourth time this season against Wolves on Monday night, head coach Enzo Maresca is still hoping to see more from the England star.
Despite the fact that Noni Madueke scored in Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Wolves, the head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca, requested that the winger make “immediate” improvements upon his performance.
Despite the fact that the victory at Stamford Bridge brought an end to a winless sequence of five matches, Maresca was dissatisfied with what he believed to be a decline in performance from the England international after he had headed his team’s third goal in the last minute of the match.
Madueke has been publicly criticised for his work rate for the second time this season. This time, the criticism was of his work pace. Due to the fact that the manager was concerned about his demeanour during training, he was removed from the squad for the victory against Aston Villa in December.
It is possible for him to improve in the last part of the pitch, but it is likely that he stopped playing after he scored the goal. As a result of their first victory since December 15, Maresca’s club was able to go back into the top four in the Premier League. “This has to be one thing that we need to improve immediately,” he stated.
You should never be satisfied with a score of one or two; you should constantly strive for more. As soon as he scored the goal, he appeared to take a little break from playing, which is something that we need to work on strengthening.
“All we do is make an effort to assist them in becoming better. The objective undoubtedly left him feeling a little bit exhausted, but now is the time for us to push ourselves to achieve even more.
The first half was controlled by Chelsea, but unlike their prior performance, they were unable to finish off Wolves. A lengthy video assistant referee check was necessary in order to determine whether or not the defender had been onside at the time that Reece James slammed the ball into the net. Tosin Adarabioyo scored his third goal of 2025, which gave them the lead.
However, Wolves were able to equalise the score thanks to a terrible mistake made by custodian Robert Sanchez. Sanchez made a dreadful mistake by mishandling the ball at a corner, which allowed Matt Doherty to push the ball home.
Chelsea was plagued by seven points squandered from winning situations in games against Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth in recent times, and at that moment, it appeared as though the game was equally likely to tilt in any direction.
When Marc Cucurella chested down Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s flick and pushed the ball beyond Jose Sa on the hour mark, he forced the home team to take the lead once again. Five minutes later, Madueke calmed any residual jitters with a third goal that he headed in from on the halfway line.
In response to the question, “Winning after five games without a win, it’s complicated,” Maresca replied. In spite of this, I believe that the performance was consistently present in the five games that we did not win. Within the confines of the box, where we could have been a little bit more clinical, the problem has been.
The first forty minutes were a fantastic performance by the squad; we scored goals and created opportunities. After then, the same thing that had occurred in the previous four or five games took place: whenever we conceded, we had a slight loss of confidence about ourselves. Then, in the second half, we came out on top and scored twice, and we had the potential to score much more.
