London, England – Enzo Maresca don talk say Chelsea go need to adjust their game plan as dem dey prepare to face Nottingham Forest for City Ground this afternoon. Forest don dey look to turn dem luck around after suffering back-to-back losses before dem international break, and Maresca no wan take dem lightly (abi you know wetin dem say about sleeping dog?).
Two week ago, Chelsea gree smile as Estevao Willian score late goal to seal win against Liverpool, but e no mean say dem fit relax. Dem still get Cole Palmer wey go dey out for longer after injury, and dat one na heavy blow (no be over sabi o!). Maresca get options, but to replace Palmer wey dey shine like star na serious wahala for am.
‘To replace Cole no easy,’ Maresca talk. ‘Him dey very important for our game. We go try find different skills wey we fit use, but na real challenge.’ I fit just imagine am dey scratch him head for di tactics board (like say na only magic go fit save am!).
As for Nottingham Forest, dem don make changes under their new manager Ange Postecoglou, and dat one fit turn dem into serious contender. Maresca don notice say di way dem dey switch formation fit create problem for Chelsea defense. ‘I see say dem fit start with back five today and later switch to back four,’ e talk. ‘So, we must dey ready for anything.’
Maresca kneel down dey pray for di energy wey fans go bring to City Ground because dat crowd go fit influence di direction of di game (na like extra player wey no dey wear jersey). He talk say, ‘We go just focus on our game plan, but we sabi say atmosphere fit change everything for di last 20 minutes.’
Kick-off na 12:30 pm today, and Chelsea go enter di pitch with some players back from injury, while some still dey on di sick bed. Reece James don recover, but di list of missing players still long like supermarket queue! Maresca dey try balance everything but e need serious luck today.
For Juventus side, na wetin we go hear in coming days as di rumors don dey fly say dem fit consider Enzo Maresca for di head coach role if results no improve under Igor Tudor. E look like di Italian man dey get some serious side-eye as Juventus dey weigh options (how dem go take fit throw one coach for back like old slippers?).
With all these things happening, today’s match go be like drama season finale – so, grab your popcorn as di action unfold!
