Chelsea Legend, Tony Cascarino Advises Maresca to Switch Nkunku’s Position
Former Chelsea Legend, Tony Cascarino, advises Enzo Maresca on the best position to place Christopher Nkunku in the team.
Earlier in 2023, Chelsea signed in Nkunku for over £50 Million. However the player has suffered injuries putting off the game for a while and reducing his skills.
The player was later rumored to move from Chelsea during the January transfer but eventually changed his mind to stay.
Speaking to the media, Cascarino shared his thoughts on the player. “They have a real issue at center-forward. Nkunku, I’m sorry, but you’re carrying him as a centre-forward.”
“I had no idea why Maresca selected him after the performance he put in during the cup game against Brighton.”
”I will give him one benefit of the doubt: he is not a centre-forward. His best play has always been off the left.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
