Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca remains cautious about title ambitions despite his team’s thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over Tottenham, reducing Liverpool’s Premier League lead to four points.
The Blues recovered from a disastrous start, trailing 2-0 within 11 minutes after errors by Marc Cucurella allowed Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski to score.
Jadon Sancho quickly pulled one back, while a pivotal moment came as Moises Caicedo escaped a red card for a high tackle before earning Chelsea a crucial penalty.
Maresca praised his young squad’s resilience but urged focus on consistent improvement. “Fans can dream, but for us, it’s about improving day by day,” he said. “We’re not ready to be there yet.”
He said: “To be focused in the day-by-day, in our session, in the next game on Thursday then Sunday, because if you start to think in two games, three games or in four games where we are? It’s completely wrong.
“The main focus has to be enjoy the day off, with family or friends, but when they come back go again 100 per cent, train well, go for the game and no more than that.
“We are happy that our fans are happy. They can dream, they can think everything because on the outside it is quite clear, also inside, the reality is that I said many times for me we are not ready to be there, but the important thing is we improve day by day” he added
