Enzo Maresca received a red card: why the referee punished the Chelsea coach

According to The Sun: If you believe that Enzo Maresca was unfairly shown a red card on Saturday, it is worth recalling his previous red card incident.

The Chelsea head coach was sent off for the first time in his career in England after receiving a second yellow card for an emotional celebration of Estevano's only goal during stoppage time against Liverpool.

The last red card was more than nine years ago when Maresca played for Hellas Verona in a Serie B match against Ternana in October 2016.

At the start of the second half, Maresca was involved in a tussle for the ball with the opposing striker Felipe Avenatti. Although the situation looked like an accidental collision, the referee decided to send him off due to elbowing, which was a big shock for Maresca.

That time, his sending off did not prevent Verona from winning the match 3-0.

Chelsea continues to look for ways to bounce back after their defeat in the Champions League against Liverpool. The team hopes for a victory in their upcoming matches.

Estevano draws attention

Chelsea fans have already fallen in love with Estevano on the pitch, especially after his winning goal in the final minutes against Liverpool. Now this Brazilian talent is expanding his influence off the pitch.

At the age of 18, Estevano is launching the Estevano Willian Institute, which will provide free courses for 3000 children aged 7 to 18.

The classes will include English, arts, and dance, reflecting life in salsa and his hometown of Franca, São Paulo.

The construction of the institute is set to begin in February 2026.

First experience for the son of a legend

For the son of former Chelsea sporting director Michael Emenalo, Landon, it was a new stage as he made his Premier League debut.

Michael, who currently holds a similar position in Saudi Arabia, came to London for business on the very day of his son's debut.

Landon got the chance to train with the first team due to injuries to key players.

Nostalgia for fans

Academy graduate Andreas Christensen is still grateful to Chelsea. He was spotted watching his former team's victory over Liverpool on his phone.

Moreover, Chelsea continues to face injuries in defense, although the situation is not changing.

Recent squad changes will not have an impact, and Chelsea has chosen not to recall Disasi to the first team, even though he is registered to participate in the Premier League.

Legends on the pitch

This weekend, Liverpool will feel the power of Chelsea legends during a charity match being held in support of the Chelsea Foundation.

Among the legends taking the field will be Eden Hazard, John Terry, Joe Cole, and many others. This match promises to be a spectacular event for the fans of both teams.

Thus, Chelsea and its former stars continue to maintain a connection with the fans, once again reminding them of their achievements and commitments to the community. By combining sports with social responsibility, the club demonstrates that football is not just a game, but also an opportunity to change lives for the better.
