Maurizio Sarri’s Trick to Make Hudson-Odoi Stays in Chelsea

DBasia.news – The 2018/2019 season so far went well for Maurizio Sarri in his debut with Chelsea. Besides the consistency to preserve the top-four position on the Premier League table, The Blues also participate in the Europa League and League Cup.

Unfortunately, one of their young players, Callum Hudson-Odoi seldom gets the chance to play. Maurizio Sarri often places Willian or Pedro as the winger if Eden Hazard plays as the false 9.

The situation makes the 18-year-old player often started the match from the bench. Moreover, he just got the chance to play when the team play in the FA Cup or League Cup. Furthermore, Hudson-Odoi is also the target of Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munchen.

But, the fans’ expectation to see the England player in the starting eleven would be realized soon. Apparently, Sarri feels satisfied with his progress and dropped the hint that he would give more opportunity for him.

“The bench is not really very short. It’s short only for one position at the moment because I think (Hudson-Odoi) is improving. In one, two months, he will be at the same level as the other players,” Sarri said cited by ESPN.

Hudson-Odoi’s performance this season isn’t really bad. Moreover, when he played as the starter in the match against Nottingham Forest in the third round of FA Cup (5/1) he scored two assists converted to be goals by Alvaro Morata.

After defeating Newcastle United, The Blues are preparing for the crucial away match against the rival, Arsenal on the 23rd-week of Premier League, Sunday (20/1).
