New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has warned fans that his team will concede goals by playing out from the back this season.
The Blues drew 2-2 with League One side Wrexham in the first game of their pre-season tour of the USA with Christopher Nkunku and Lesley Okuchukwu grabbing the goals for Maresca’s side.
And asked about his style, Maresca said: “For sure, we are going to concede goals this season playing out from the back.
“Hopefully not too many. It is one of the risks that you have trying to build from behind.
“I have no doubt (about his style of play). I think you are going to concede in different ways, so you need to decide in which way you need to concede a goal.
“Sometimes teams that try to build from the back concede goals but I think you are going to score more than you concede.”
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a new goalkeeper this summer with reports suggesting they are looking to sign Villarreal shot-stopper Filip Jorgensen.
And asked whether a new goalkeeper is on the list of priorities, Maresca said: “We’ll see, we’ll see.
“In this moment we have four goalkeepers. Petrovic is still with us but injured. We will see with the timing. When the transfer window is open, anything can happen for us and for the rest.
“What I can say is Robert (Sanchez) did very well tonight and did very well since we started. For sure, the way we want to play, the goalkeeper is very, very important – one of the main positions. And I don’t want to talk about players that are not Chelsea players but I am very happy with Robert.”
