The Italian believes Celtic are well ahead of his team in one aspect
Enzo Maresca insists it's clear Celtic are a team ready to rock and roll ahead of their season opener as they swatted Chelsea aside.
New Stamford Bridge boss Maresca was left ruing missed chances, but conceded that the Celts looked far stronger physically than his team, although felt his players were "ten times" better against Wrexham in their draw with the high profile Welsh outfit. That being said, the Italian was keen to stress that Chelsea are nowhere near as far along in their preparation than their Scottish opponents, and it showed.
“After the third goal, the game was finished. I think it was quite clear the difference between us and them in terms of physical condition. You can see that they are a team that in one week they are going to start their official season while for us it was just our second game the break. For me, it was quite clear the difference in physical condition.
