Criticized and victim of racism, a Premier League player receives the support of former Ivorian international Didier Drogba.
Nicolas Jackson struggles to convince at Chelsea. Often criticized for his lack of efficiency in the last 30 meters, the Senegalese striker was also the victim of racist insults following the elimination of the Blues against Manchester City (1-0) in the semi-final of the FA Cup last Saturday.
Fortunately, Nicolas Jackson can count on the support of African football and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. The former Blues scorer was keen to encourage the young striker on Xformerly Twitter : “Keep your head high and never stop working hard, it will pay off.”
An honorable record
Nicolas Jackson also benefits from the trust of his trainer Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentinian did not hesitate to declare to the media: “He will always have my support. He fights for the club, his teammates and the team. He needs time to improve. There is no doubt that he will be better next season.”
Despite the criticism, it is important to note that the native of Djibonker has an honorable record this season with 13 goals and 5 assists in 37 matches in all competitions.
