'We are still learning about how Maresca wants us to play'published at 09:45 25 July
Lesley Ugochukwu scored his first goal for Chelsea as Enzo Maresca's side were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against League One opponents Wrexham.
The 20-year-old defensive midfielder made 15 appearances for the Blues last season after joining the club from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Speaking after the pre-season draw, Ugochukwu said: "We just started a few weeks ago, so I think it is a good result for a first game.
"They [Wrexham] have already played a few games before. We are just working to improve game on game."
On his 82nd-minute equaliser, he added: "I'm practising finishing as much as I can.
"It's not every time that you will see me in that type of situation but, when I get there, I try to keep calm and finish well."
Ugochukwu also revealed his thoughts on new manager Enzo Maresca, who joined the Blues this summer from Leicester City.
"He came with very good ideas," he said.
"We are still learning about how he wants us to play. Everyone is putting in effort to do what he wants us to do and that is what we tried to do [against Wrexham].
"He wants me, first of all, to be calm with the ball and to try to go forward, then trust the process and not rush it."
