Jadon Sancho is only the shadow of himself. Loaned by Manchester United on the side of Chelsea for this 2024-2025 season, the English international (23 selections, 3 goals) was not long in justifying the choice of blues to position himself on him in the last hours of the summer transfer window . However, after three assists then two goals against Southampton and Tottenham, the native of London – which totals 2 achievements and 6 offerings in 26 matches in all competitions – lives a much more complicated period.
Sancho continues his free fall
Detonator of the London formation, currently pointing to 7th place in the ranking, with a huge loss of speed, Sancho has been chaining the indigestible services for several weeks. Saturday, during the 26th day of the Premier League against Aston Villa (1-2), the former Dortmund player started on the replacement bench and his entry into play at a quarter of the term will not clearly remain in the annals. 14 short play where the right -hander of 1m80 once again remained silent against the opposing cages.
The situation is also simple: in the last 13 games, Jadon Sancho did not score the slightest goal. Other statistics also confirm the crossing of the 24 -year -old desert, which has not managed the slightest center in 1,260 minutes disputed in the Premier League. What arouse the anger of fans and some former blues players. Speaking on his Podcast Obi One, John Obi Mikel had castigated Sancho's performance level, assuring that the latter simply had “Deceived” Chelsea.
“He deceived us with a few games. Now we are going to get the Jadon Sancho from Dortmund but he left. I don't know what happened to Jadon. It has disappeared. He no longer exceeds people. He no longer creates any opportunities. He does not help the team as much as it should be. And (noni) Madueke is now injured too. It is at this point that players must intervene and take their responsibilities and say: you know what, listen. Now I have the opportunity to play week after week, and I have to be ready for it. I have to help the team with assists and goals, and they don't ”thus regretted the ex-Milieu des Blues.
What is the problem?
And conclude: “I don't know what happened with Jadon, but Jadon Sancho needs to wake up. The Premier League is the most difficult league in the world. If you don't do it here … “ An acid output against number 19 of Chelsea, even if the latter can console himself with the remarks made by Shaun Wright-Phillips, also passed by Stamford Bridge. “Confidence is a huge thing. You can see in some elements of his game that he tries to make things happen. If you look at his past, before he joins Man United, everything he did also worked. This gives him confidence to make it again and again until he created an opportunity, he draws or even he scores a goal. It will come over time “put it into perspective during an interview with Tribal football.
The 43 -year -old also took the opportunity to distill some advice in Sancho: “I was myself a wing, and there are elements in his game that I recognize for having gone through periods when things did not happen. He just has to lower his head and continue because we know he has the capacity. You can lose your rhythm, you lose confidence, but your ability to do things is always there; It's just a question to get him out ”. Welcome encouragement for the player trained at Manchester City. It remains to be seen whether Jadon Sancho will be able to find his superb in the coming weeks. First answer, this Tuesday, during the reception of Southampton on the occasion of the 27th day of the Premier League.
