That is despite embarking on a five-match winning streak and only not taking the spoils in two of their games since an opening day defeat to Manchester City.
"When you win games, it always creates energy, trust and confidence," Maresca said. "It's helping the process but the players are the first to recognise when the team plays well or not.
"The results are helping but they are convinced because they can see clearly the purpose and identity we have."
Chelsea host Nottingham Forest this afternoon seeking to consolidate their position in the top four of the early Premier League table.
"For the first two months, we had a lot of noise around the club, although I said inside it was quiet," added Maresca. Hopefully, we can continue in the way we are now."
