Maresca told Chelsea supporters the club is heading in the right direction compared to the previous two seasons.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has urged fans to trust him and says the team is improving under his leadership. The Italian, 45, saw his team jeered by some fans while they were losing at home to Ipswich on Sunday in a game where they eventually came back to draw 2-2.

Chelsea are moving in the right direction and developing a playing style that will help them in the long run, coach Enzo Maresca said on Wednesday in an impassioned defence of his players who were jeered over the weekend.
