Mikhail continued his productive performances in the Conference League, scoring against Heidenheim
Head coach Chelsea Enzo Maresca expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance in the victorious away Conference League match against Heidenheim (2:0) and, in particular, the form of the Ukrainian winger Mikhail Mudrika.
“Wise? Yes, yes. He’s one of the ones I was talking about [игроках, сыгравших фантастически]. I think it’s difficult to find players who played poorly today. They all played very well. This is what we need.”
“We need them all to take their chances when they get them. We have 24 or 25 players, good players who all deserve to play and are doing fantastic work. In the next matches we will give them minutes because we have so many games, so this is a normal thing.”
Let us remind you that Chelsea opened the scoring at the beginning of the second half – Christopher Nkunku scored from a pass from Jadon Sancho. In the 86th minute, Mudryk responded to the same Sancho’s cross and hit the ball into the top corner with a powerful blow, setting the final score.
The Ukrainian winger played his 15th match of the season, scoring his third goal (all in the Conference League) with five assists (three in the main LK tournament). Mudryk is in the top 5 top scorers (Nkunku is one of the two leaders with five goals), and also shares 1-7 places in the list of the best assistants of the general stage.
Enzo Mareschi’s team continues to lead the overall LC table without losses. Besides the Blues, only Legia has not lost points in this tournament so far.
In the next round, Chelsea will play away against Astana on December 12. Before this, the Londoners will have time to play three matches in the Premier League: at home with Aston Villa, away with Southampton and Tottenham. In total, Maresca’s team will have to play nine matches in December.
