Chelsea have made a noticable progress since Enzo Maresca took over. They did have been defeated, but their team is finally heading in right direction. It feels like The Blues are on the right track to challenge for Premier League title very soon. And to do so, Romeo Lavia can play an important role for Maresca by improving Chelsea.
Maresca has been able to get the best of his attack this season. The Blues are scoring on regular basis. But, their defence seems to be lacking something and hence we are very likely to see Blues making big moves for defenders next year.
As far as midfield department is concerned, Chelsea are having mixed results. Moises Caicedo has been doing really good since the start of the season. But his partner Enzo Fernandez is still having tough time and finding it hard to adapt.
How can Romeo Lavia help Maresca and Chelsea?
Despite Enzo Fernandez struggling, one star who has been doing well with Caicedo is Romeo Lavia. Lavia joined Chelsea last year for fee around £53 million plus add-ons as per Forbes. But Lavia was unlucky as he got injured and as a result played only 1 match last season.
This season, Lavia has made a strong return to the pitch. He was looking very sharp against Liverpool despite The Blues failing short to defeat the hosts. Lavia played for only 53 minutes and later was taken off. He was replaced by Enzo Fernandez.
Despite playing only 53 minutes, Lavia achieved some really good stats. He had 95% passing accuracy and 100% dribble success. Lavia had 34 touches and 1 pass in final third. He also made 1 tackle, 2 interceptions and 2 recoveries. Lastly, he won 5/7 ground duels and 1/1 ariel duel.
It was very impressive performance from young Belgian. It feels like Lavia can help Chelsea a lot if he manages to stay fit. He has a lot of quality and can help his team in both attack and defence. Enzo Maresca will surely look to bring best of him this season.
