Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has praised the club’s young winger Noni Madueke, declaring him the most dangerous wide player in the squad right now. Maresca, who has been focusing on a more dynamic and attacking style of play this season, emphasized his desire for his wingers to take on defenders and create opportunities.
“Most of the time, our wingers have the chance to be one-v-one 10 times during the game,” said the Blues boss. “For every winger, it’s a dream come true to play forward and have the chance to go one-v-one. We allow them during the game to go one-v-one at different times.”
Maresca was full of praise for Madueke’s performances, particularly in pre-season. “The best one for us in this moment has been Noni. In pre-season, he scored different goals, created different chances. Every time he received the ball, he can go one-v-one. Noni is doing fantastic, but all our wingers are working well,” he added.
Madueke has indeed made a strong start to the season. His standout moment came with a hat-trick against Wolves in the Premier League, a performance that solidified his reputation as a promising talent. His impressive form has also earned him his England debut, coming off the bench in the recent match against Finland on Tuesday night.
As Chelsea looks to challenge on multiple fronts this season, Maresca’s faith in his wingers, particularly Madueke, could prove pivotal in the club’s quest for silverware.
