Eden Hazard sends Nicolas Jackson’s clear Message to Enzo Maresca after Bournemouth clash
Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, was unable to score in his team’s 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
Eden Hazard, a Chelsea star, was nevertheless pleased with what he saw from Nicolas Jackson during the match at Vitality Stadium.
The 23-year-old was subsequently replaced by Christopher Nkunku, who later scored Chelsea’s game-winning goal. His goal was set up by Jadon Sancho, who dazzled Chelsea supporters with his debut.
Eden Hazard, however, had some kind words to say about Jackson following the Blues’ 1-0 victory over Andoni Iraola’s team.
Eden Hazard said, “He does make some good runs, and I must commend him for that.”
He continued, “I’d love to see him play behind a target man, and he just needs a good striker to compete with him.”
The Senegal international missed several excellent opportunities to score on Saturday against Bournemouth.
In addition, the former Villarreal striker recently extended his Chelsea contract for a another nine years, and he is already exhibiting indications that the Blues may have made a mistake in their purchase.
Although Jackson puts forth a lot of effort, much like Cucurella does, he lacks decisiveness when he gets the ball in the latter third.
Jackson got two goal opportunities in the 28th and 34th minutes, but he was unable to score any. Christopher Nkunku scored a goal in the box as Jackson was substituted, which may have been a wasted opportunity.
