“How I feel when I score the goal” Callum Hudson-Odoi shares how he feels after scoring against his former club
Close Encounter
Callum Hudson-Odoi, the dynamic winger of Nottingham Forest, nearly clinched victory against his former club Chelsea.
Twist of Fate
In a thrilling encounter, Hudson-Odoi propelled Nottingham Forest ahead 2-1 against Chelsea. However, late strikes from Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson orchestrated a turnaround for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, securing them all three points.
A New Beginning
The 23-year-old bid adieu to Stamford Bridge, moving to the City Ground in the last summer transfer window. This transition has proven to be fruitful for him.
A Regular Presence
Hudson-Odoi has seamlessly integrated into the squad, earning regular playing time with 28 appearances in the Premier League this season.
Past Seasons
Contrastingly, in the previous term, the English international saw limited action with just 14 appearances in the Bundesliga while on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
Emotions Unveiled
Having risen through the ranks at Chelsea, the Forest sensation couldn’t deny the satisfaction of netting against his former team. In an interview with Premier League Productions (via BBC Sport), he expressed his sentiments, saying, “Credit to the boys. They worked hard and it was unfortunate. It was a nice feeling playing against the boys I know and catch up with them. It was nice to get a goal against my former team. You never know in football. There’s one game left but hopefully we’re safe now and we can focus on Burnley next weekend.”
The Regrettable Decision?
The decision to part ways with Hudson-Odoi might come back to haunt Chelsea. His impactful performance nearly proved it after his goal against the Blues. With eight Premier League goals this season, he’s outperformed some of the club’s costliest signings, including Mykhailo Mudryk.
The Dilemma
Chelsea received a meager £3m for Hudson-Odoi, a fee that doesn’t reflect his potential. At just 23 years old, he’s poised for further growth and improvement. If Mudryk, or any other replacement, fails to meet expectations consistently, Chelsea might rue the day they let Hudson-Odoi go.
