Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf believes boss Enzo Maresca was lying when he said that he always had confidence in his squad this season. The Blues secured a comeback 4-1 win over Real Betis at the Wroclaw Stadium on Wednesday, May 29, in the Europa Conference League final.
Following the game, Maresca suggested that he never had doubts about his team, despite a woeful run of six defeats in 11 games after Christmas last year. However, Leboeuf insists that the Italian manager hasn’t always spoken the truth.
Speaking to ESPN FC, the former French defender pointed out that, like most clubs this season, Chelsea were also inconsistent.
He continued:
The Blues registered 35 wins and 13 defeats in 57 games across competitions under Maresca this season.
Chelsea have set their sights on Jeremy Doku, according to club insider Simon Phillips. The 23-year-old has six goals and nine assists in 38 games across competitions for Manchester City this season.
In his Substact column, though, Phillips added that there’s nothing advanced regarding a move for Doku.
He continued:
Doku is under contract with City until 2028.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
