“Like I said, he’s not enjoying playing there”: Theo Walcott says 22-year-old Chelsea man isn’t enjoying his football right now
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has expressed concern about Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk’s current state of enjoyment in football. Mudryk has faced challenges since joining Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk, struggling to find his footing and make a significant impact on the pitch.
Speaking on Sky Sports before Chelsea’s 0-0 draw with Bournemouth, Walcott emphasized the importance of Mudryk finding joy in the game. He highlighted the need for support from the manager, comparing the situation to Raheem Sterling’s experience. Walcott encouraged Mudryk to think forward, have confidence, and enjoy the game, stressing that the right mindset can make a difference in performance.
Mudryk’s goal drought is a concern, having not scored in any of his Premier League appearances this season or in the previous season. Despite his struggles, he is not the only Chelsea player facing challenges, with the team consistently dropping points and Champions League qualification appearing increasingly difficult.
The pressure is mounting on Mauricio Pochettino and his team, as they currently sit eight points adrift of the Champions League spots. The upcoming clash against Aston Villa is viewed as a crucial match, and Chelsea needs to start winning games to close the gap and salvage their Champions League aspirations.
