Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca believes the club has the platform to "dominate" English soccer in the coming years. Maresca has repeated his assertion that Chelsea shouldn't be deemed a contender in the Premier League title race even though his team is third in the standings and tied on points with second-placed Arsenal. Yet the Italian coach is more bullish about Chelsea's long-term prospects. Maresca says "I still think what I said to the owners and the sporting director the first time I met them." He says "because of the age and because of how good the squad is, for me Chelsea in the next five to 10 years will be one of the teams — or the team — to dominate English football."
