Enzo Maresca, Chelsea boss, speaking on Friday:
We haven't done any fitness tests since we started. We started pre-season last Monday preparing for the Friday game against Leverkusen, like a normal week in a normal season. We didn’t have time to do pre-season tests or this kind of thing.
I have never seen this. Probably it’s much better for the players. But we are working well. We are okay, we are good. The mood of the players is very good, especially with the way we finished last season.
It will be very important to start in the same way as last season, or continue in the same way we finished last season.
