Levi Colwill is a really interesting guy, a good talker and one of the biggest winners from Enzo Maresca's time at Chelsea so far.

The young defender was the new coach's first choice at centre back since the day he arrived in the summer, and Colwill has built on last season's successes (which were all too often interrupted by injuries) with a solid start to this season.

"He's a perfectionist.

Even though we've got young players in the dressing room, he doesn't treat us like that.

The standards he sets are so high and that's what we need to hit every day," Colwill said of his new boss.

Maresca hopes to move to a more controlled, Pep style football with time, but his adaptability in shaping his philosophy to suit the squad has already set him apart from the Catalan coach.
