Jadon Sancho says everyone at Chelsea is buying into Enzo Maresca’s methods as the Blues continue to impress under the Italian.
The England winger, who is on loan from Manchester United, has scored in his last two games as the west Londoners move to second in the Premier League.
Sancho looks to be returning to the player who saw him emerge at Borussia Dortmund after a dismal spell following his move to United in 2021.
And the 24-year-old said he immediately bought into Maresca’s philosophy after sealing his loan move in August.
In an interview with Sky SportsSancho said: “He’s a very good manager and he understands the players, but he’s very hard on you if you don’t do the right things. I feel like every player is looking at how it works and is willing to learn.
“In my first conversation with him, I had a good feeling, a good impression, so I wanted to play under him.
“It was just like when I walked in the room I felt his aura, his presence, especially when he talks to you because he’s played the game so he’s got a lot of experience. It can teach all the kids something, so I feel like it was good.”

Sancho has had to wait patiently to get his chance in West London with the Blues boasting a huge amount of quality in attack, with the rookie battling with Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Joao Felix for a starting spot.
But he made it count when given the chance in recent weeks, scoring off the bench against Southampton before scoring from the start in a 4-3 win over rivals Tottenham.
“I’ve been practicing my shooting,” Sancho said. “I like to give my friends the glory in front of the camera, so I try to help them as much as I can, but in training they’ve seen that I have a nice shot and I know I can shoot.
“I’ve just been practicing it and I’m happy to have scored the goal against Tottenham.
“I’m focused game by game and I hope I can keep this moment going. I’m very happy, I’m working hard for the team and the main goal is to get the three points every week.
