Jadon Sancho joined Chelsea from Manchester United this summer and his career is off to a decent start.
The England winger won the man of the match award on his debut against Bournemouth for his fine performance.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund man assisted the winner at the end of the game for the Blues.
Apart from that, his chemistry and understanding with the Chelsea players looked strong and some of his passing to create chances was exquisite.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has spoken about Sancho’s relationship with Chelsea’s coach, Maresca.
Jacobs has revealed what impressed Chelsea’s new signing about the manager.
He wrote for GiveMeSport:
“Sancho has also been shocked by Maresca’s management, with the Italian’s private conversation with the player making it clear that the former United winger has a blank slate and that he will not look back at his stage at Old Trafford.
“That, along with an already close bond with current Blues star Nkunku, who he assisted for the winner on the south coast.”
A fresh start at Chelsea could change Jadon Sancho’s career
It’s a chance for Sancho to get his career back on track after failing to make an impact at Man United following his big money move.
His relationship with Man United manager Erik ten Hag was not the best and he suffered a lot at Old Trafford.
He was dropped from the squad after falling out with the manager and sent on loan to Dortmund last season.
The player was disappointed with the manager’s treatment and his exit seemed certain at the time he had a falling out with the manager.
At Chelsea, Maresca has treated him differently and shown him respect and made him comfortable in the new environment.
The player has made an impressive start at Chelsea with a man of the match performance on his debut.
