In an exciting matchup in the second round of the Premier League, Chelsea thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers 6-2 away from home, with young striker Madoueke scoring a hat-trick. After the match, he was interviewed by PLP to share his thoughts and feelings about the match.
Talking about the game:
Maduekai said today's game meant a lot to him. He emphasized that he kept his head in the game and waited for the right moment to launch an attack. He praised the team's tactical system which he believes allowed them to utilize their strengths to the fullest and maintain control of the ball further forward. Although the two sides were on the attack in the first half, Chelsea managed to control the situation in the second half and eventually scored a big win.
Talk about a hat trick:
Maduekai looked both excited and humble about his hat-trick. He admitted that the first goal was a bit of luck, while the second was entirely due to a great pass from teammate Palmer. He thanked Palmer for his support during the game and said that he was very happy with his hat-trick, but more importantly the team won the game.
Thoughts on Palmer:
Maduekai was full of praise for Palmer's performance. He believes that Palmer is an incredible player who always makes precise passes at the right time. He said that he and Palmer work very well together and that Palmer's passes always allow him to receive the ball in the middle of the space and create chances. He believes that this chemistry is one of the key reasons why the team was able to win today.
Talk about a first win under Maresca's coaching:
Maduekai also spoke about new head coach Maresca. He said that Maresca is very obsessive about details and that this rigor has made the team more focused and efficient in their games. He mentioned that in the last game against Manchester City, the team had shown good play but just failed to capitalize on their chances. Today's game, on the other hand, was a good win and he was happy to get his first Premier League win for Maresca at Chelsea.
Thoughts on Wolverhampton:
In the interview, Maduekai also apologized to Wolverhampton fans for his previous comments on social media. He stated that it was a human error and an accident and that he did not mean to offend anyone. He believes Wolverhampton is a good town and expressed his understanding of the fans booing as part of the game. He emphasized that he must be able to play under that pressure and looks forward to continuing to contribute to the team in future games.
