Reece James' BRUTAL interview! Enzo Maresca reacts ahead of Fulham clash

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca reacts to club captain Reece James’ brutal interview, in which he suggested the Blues were going backwards following their defeat to Legia Warsaw in the Conference League. 0:00 Intro 0:01 It’s the first moment for Cole where he has been struggling in general. Because he’s so good, he has to continue to work hard because soon he will start scoring goals again for us. In the first 20 PL games he scored 14 goals, it’s a huge number. Now he is struggling but he is going to score goals soon. 1:01 There are different reasons why. For sure in moments where you struggle, it’s part of your career. The way teams approach him is in different ways. Usually man to man but even with that, he scored 14 goals in 20 games. 1:49 Romeo is back, he can be available for Sunday. We are going to try the same thing as with Reece, help him and manage him. He’s an important player. 2:36 Marc is doing fantastic, he’s scoring goals but also helping the team play the way we need to play. We need to be worried though that he is scoring the most goals at the moment. 3:18 We rested Enzo, Moises and many others. For sure we are not happy with the Legia result but we needed to rotate players. Andre is doing well but for now we are focused on finishing this season. 4:13 Reece James interview? It’s what we need, brutal honesty. He was right in parts because we tried to manage the first result against Legia. 4:52 At the beginning of the season I complained about his leadership a little bit, I just wanted to get more from him. 5:17 No doubt that using Cole and Nico tonight is to build their confidence and their physical condition. When they don’t score, I’m worried. 5:59 We cannot achieve Champions League if Cole and Nico don’t start scoring goals. We are confident they will score goals. It’s just a matter of confidence. 6:41 For now you need leaders. If you don’t have it you need to build it in your squad. That’s why I wanted more from Reece and he is doing more. You have to build lead
