This morning, Chelsea had a gentle 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers. This was the match where coach Mauricio Pochettino trusted 19-year-old player Lesley Ugochukwu from the beginning and he did not disappoint.
Lesley Ugochukwu made a good impression in the match against Blackburn.
This defensive midfielder played solidly and was scored 7.3 by statistical site Sofascore. He had 73 touches of the ball, completed 93% of passes and especially won 5 duels, along with 4 accurate tackles.
After the match, Lesley Ugochukwu took to Instagram to celebrate the win. Immediately, Malo Gusto praised his young teammate. He wrote: “It’s so powerful“.
Last summer, Chelsea spent 23 million pounds to sign Ugochukwu from Rennes. Speaking on the club’s official website last month, Ugochukwu admitted he used to follow John Obi Mikel as a child.
To date, one can see some similarities between Ugochukwu and Mikel. However, he will have to put in more effort to compete with seniors like Moises Caicedo or Enzo Fernandez.
