- Chelsea boss has completely transformed Malo Gusto
- Maresca has changed the 21 year old’s style of play
- The transformation has produced mixed results so far
Enzo Maresca has been able to transform Chelsea this season. The Blues are in a far better place when compared to last few seasons. They are on the third position in Premier League whereas are on first position in Conference League.
Maresca has been able to transform his players. He has completely turned the fortunes for Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea fans are very happy with what the Italian is doing and are trusting the process.
How has Chelsea boss transformed Malo Gusto?
Another player who has changed his style of play is right back Malo Gusto. The 21 year old is completely different when compared to last year.
It is not like the Frenchman was poor last season and that is the reason Maresca transformed him. Instead, the Italian boss took this decision to help his team and it is certainly paying off at the moment.
Last year Malo Gusto was operating as a traditional right back. He was doing his job in superb fashion and even picked 9 assists in total. But Maresca changed his roles and handed him a competely different job.
Gusto has been adviced by Maresca to come in the centre of the pitch whenever Chelsea have the ball. This prevents him from overlapping Madueke who plays on right wing. Gusto also helps his team finding space by doing this.
This tactics are surely paying of for Chelsea as they are on a right track of success. But at the same time, Gusto has seen drop in his personal stats. He is yet to record single goal or assist in Premier League and has only recorded 1 assist across all competitions.
Gusto has also been weak on some occasions but it is expected as it has not been a long time since he has been handed a new role. At this moment, Chelsea fans will not have any problem with Maresca to use Gusto in this way. Stats and records are as per FOTMOB.
