One Chelsea player apparently ‘needs five chances for every goal’ scored and is now directly in competition with another Blues star, as set by his manager.
That is at least according to one former Chelsea player who has been speaking out this week during another international break.
As we know, these breaks often bring lots of quotes and debates, some of them just needless and silly to fill time and space. We all know how boring it can be without domestic football. Thankfully though, domestic football is back this weekend, but more on that as the week goes on.
Until then, some quotes to go for, and I guess some might agree, and some might disagree, with what former Blues defender William Gallas has been saying this week.
Jackson has actually started the season well
In quotes picked up bu Caught Offside this week, Gallas says striker Nicolas Jackson needs to be doing better at Chelsea.
“Enzo Maresca knows what he is doing with Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, he has them in competition with each other so they know they have to be at their very best to stay in the team,” Gallas said.
“They both want to start and they’ve both been showing that they can score goals, if one of them stops scoring then the other one will play.
“I think Jackson should be targeting 20 goals this season after getting 14 last year, he needs to keep improving because he knows he is in competition with Nkunku.
“Jackson has improved but he needs to do better, if he gets three or four good chances he needs to be scoring at least two of them. At the moment he needs five chances for every goal.”
I’m sure most of us will be pleased for domestic football to be back and the talk to be on the games again!
