Maresca can lower Nkunkua by releasing the “extraordinary” Chelsea ace in a new role

Enzo Maresca Chelsea side will want to return to the winning ways in Premier leagueAs they face the Aston villa at the Villa Park, descending from the back of the turn of Brighton in the last two weeks, not only were they thrown out of the FA Cup, but also dropped out of the best four in the league.

Blues broke the Villa 3-0 in the reverse game in this campaign at Stamford Bridge, with goals of Nicolas Jackson, Enza Fernández and Cole Palmer. Chelsea dominated the fixture, holding 64% of possessionTaking 17 shots, creating two “great chances” and generating 1.69 xg.

One issue of Maresca will have to solve the instructions in this game is the problem of the attacker at Chelsea currently, and Jackson and Marc Gui have been injured, which means that Christopher Nkinka has been filling the top in recent weeks.

Christopher Nkunku’s question of the central striker

Nkinka has This season for Chelsea left 32 appearancesMaresca is used in several different roles, scoring 13 goals in all competitions, providing four assists and a total of 1,417 minutes.

Although its overall goal is good, it is the functionality of a team that suffers from Nkunku on the side because it does not play in its natural attacking position in the middle of the terrain.

Therefore, Chelsea does not benefit from the same set of skills that Jackson brings aside, making smart races behind him, driving forward and opening larger space for Cole Palmer to act inside. Not only has it occurred to the fall of the attacker’s goals, but the Palmer himself in recent weeks.

Since Jackson and Noni Madueka are now injured (Chelsea’s second and third best scorers in the league this season), and Palmer now goes five consecutive matches without contributions, Mareca will be in charge of finding a way to score against Aston Villa.

Chelsea’s potential solution to a new striker

A different approach that an Italian coach could use to play Pedro net Through the middle, providing a similar ability to run behind him like Jackson did so, so stretching the terrain and providing that additional part of the Palmer’s pockets.

Not only could this be able to revive Palmer, it could also bring a new dynamics on the front line, allowing Blues to penetrate behind him, something they failed to do against Brighton, despite the fact that the space was given.

There is a net has led 29 appearances this season so farHilling four goals, offering five assists and a total of 1,617 minutes in all competitions.

Wolves coach, Shaun Derry, described net as “outstanding“A young man who is very serious about football, having a great enthusiasm for a game that can be contagious throughout the team.

That such energy could use Chelsea right now, and if the net leads the charges in a slightly ino -anointing role, it could have a reduced effect in terms of energy and desire.
