What an utter plank Maresca is. Turning into Arteta MK2 by the day.
The journalist is being cheeky by combining about 30 matches from last season to their 40 matches from this season. Maresca's entire point was that Chelsea have played 60 something matches without much of a break. It's hardly a gotcha response by pointing out Fluminense have played 70 matches since August last year when he omits the fact that Fluminense have had a month long break in between and a preseason period to ramp up fitness for their new season.
Maresca is right, the journalist is being stupid and deliberately obtuse.
