Maresca, Chelsea Manager, Praises Mudryk for Understanding the Requirements

The Ukrainian winger was substituted during the team's dominant 6-2 victory over Wolves on the weekend.

While many of the team’s attackers were at their best, Mudryk cut an isolated and frustrated figure in the first half of the contest.

Maresca stated to reporters: "I spoke with Misha since we started the season, less than two months ago. Five, six times. I didn’t speak with Misha after Wolves. He is very intelligent and he can understand the reason why we changed.

"It was just to try to change something. Nothing more than that. I have been a player for 20 years. 

“You know very well when the manager changes you, most of the time you know. It’s because probably you are not doing well. Misha is intelligent and he can  understand."
