RUSHED PRE-SEASON MAY HELP BLUES' CHARGE FOR TOP
ENZO Maresca reckons his Chelsea players must be loving their shortened preseason - because they haven't had to run!
The Blues have had so little time to prepare for the new season that Maresca has been unable to even give them all fitness tests.
Chelsea won the Club World Cup this summer but their exploits in the USA have left them playing catch-up.
Boss Maresca said: “We didn't do any physical tests. We didn’t have time to do this kind of thing. There was no time!
“When I was a player, my preseason was different. It was longer, 40 days, one month... So you have time to do all the tests. Do I think the players quite like it? I imagine they prefer the technical work than the running. Probably they prefer it!”
Chelsea's season extended all the way to July 13 when they faced, and beat, Paris Saint-Germain in the States.

It must grate. Sir Jim has to pay £16million to 'foreign workers' that caused expensive chaos while Carrick is inexpensive normality ... we know which one United need right now
CONSIDERING he objects to the United Kingdom being \"colonised by immigrants\", it is a touch ironic that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is having to set aside the best part of £16million to pay off a small group of foreign workers.
