Enzo Maresca is still on a safe land as head coach of Chelsea, although the Italian has to do work to improve his relationship with the fan base after he apparently accepted his own supporters after Sunday's draw with Ipswich.
Full focus in the Premier League club is on the Run-in, where they can still protect the Champions League football and cancel a trophy in the Conference League, and no consideration is made for another management change.
Outside there was a surprise that Maresca criticized the atmosphere of Stamford Bridge to the extent that he suggested that the 'environment' relegation-threatened Ipswich helped to take their lead of two goals.
Maresca seemed to claim that the negativity led to Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez sent a goal post, in contrast to the original plan, and the visitors benefited by making 2-0 seconds later.
Chelsea bounced back to pull 2-2 with Jadon Sancho who scored a wonderful equalizer, although there were no parties on full-time because of the realization that this was a game they should have won for their top five declaration.
After that competition, co-owner Behdad Eghbali made one of his routine visits to the dressing room of the house, together with co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
Maresca herself was very frustrated by the result and continues to be committed to succeed with Chelsea, although questions will inevitably be asked whether the club is missing the Champions League football again.
