Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has revealed he has fallen in love with Josh Acheampong after the youngster impressed in Thursday’s 3-0 win at Legia Warsaw in the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final.
Tyrick George opened the scoring early in the second half before Noni Madueke struck twice to seal the win. It was George
‘s first senior goal but Maresca was more impressed with another youngster, 18-year-old Acheampong, who started at right-back.
“I was delighted for Tyrick, he did quite well in the first half but in the second half he played even better in the middle of the pitch,” the Italian said after the game. “
The person I fell in love with tonight was Josh Acheampong, to be honest. I’ve felt that way since the start of the season.
“I saw the potential in Josh to develop into a top player for this club and in football in general.
“Good players show that they can play in a variety of positions and Josh is good in all areas of the pitch. “He’s a good full-back, เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา a good midfielder and a good centre-back,”
he said. “The best thing about Josh is that he’s open-minded and ready to learn how to play in any position. He’s done that since we started.”
