London –
Ex player Chelsea Gustavo Poyet admitted that he was wrong to judge too hastily Mykhailo Mudryk. Mudryk still hasn’t lived up to expectations since joining.
Mudryk was bought by Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January for a large fee, which is worth £89 million including bonuses. The 22-year winger is predicted to be the new mainstay The Blueswith his speed and ability to dribble in tight spaces.
But his performance for half a season far from expectations. He did not score a single goal in 17 appearances and only made two assists in that period.
Former Chelsea striker Gustavo Poyet admitted he was wrong for getting too enthusiastic about Mudryk at the start. He just remembered that every player needs a different adjustment time and Mudryk apparently can’t click right away.
“Last season I made a mistake and I’m not afraid to admit it. When Chelsea signed Mykhailo Mudryk, I thought it was an extraordinary decision,” he said as quoted by Metro.
“I thought, ‘wow, what a player!’ Then I remember what happened to me and a bunch of other players from abroad when they first moved to England.”
“Everyone is different and we all need different times to adapt to football. We feel we are good enough and say ‘Tomorrow I will play and be the best player on the pitch’. But football is different and so is life, we all adapt at different intervals. each time.”
“I think new players and foreign players, including me when I was playing, have to be careful, because I know what can happen to them,” Poyet added.
