Defeated by Wolves last Sunday (2-1), Chelsea, who lost their 8th match of the season, are not spared from the criticism of their supporters who have striker Nicolas Jackson in their sights. Once again, coach Mauricio Pochettino came to his aid.
With his 8th yellow card of the season and his 8th expected goal, Blues supporters are losing patience with Nicolas Jackson. The 22-year-old striker could have scored double his 7 successful goals if he had not been so defective in front of goal. Heavily criticized for his numerous failures, the Lion of Teranga recently spoke about his situation. “I should have scored more because I missed a few occasions. The Premier League is different from LaLiga, where I come from. I’m trying to adapt. That’s not an excuse. I try to continue to work harder and listen to people. Not those who don’t know football, I listen to the coach who knows football better and try to improve. »
Moreover, the latter (the coach) also asked for patience for the 37 million euro recruit. According to him, the problem at Chelsea is more collective than individual. « He is a young boy of 22 years old. It’s his first season at a club with a lot of expectations and in the Premier, which is a different league. He needs adaptation and time. It’s logic. The problem is that we are not playing as expected and that is why people are looking for culprits. But we all do it wrong, not one or two players. They all fail in front of goal and in other areas. We must help him » said Pochettino to journalists.
Chelsea will play Crystal Palace this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. for the 19th day of the Premier League.
