In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Chelsea veteran Odoi fondly recalled his journey to Nottingham Forest and shared the unforgettable experience of scoring the winning goal against Liverpool. He confessed that when he first arrived at Nottingham Forest, he was struck by the club's deep history, especially when he saw the two Champions League trophies, and his heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the future. And the feat at Anfield two weeks ago not only brought the team a valuable victory, but also excited fans who had not witnessed the team beat Liverpool for a long time. Odoi laughed and said that his family, although Liverpool's biggest fans, were proud of him at that moment, even though the pride was mixed with the helplessness of the home team's defeat.
Speaking about the upcoming match against Chelsea on the road next week, Odoi had mixed emotions and expectations. He said that although he loves Chelsea dearly, leaving was a necessary decision in order to find new challenges and adventures. He hopes to return to Stamford Bridge with the understanding and support of the fans, whether it be in the form of applause or some other form of welcome, which will be an unforgettable moment in his career. Odoi also highlighted the excellence of Chelsea's youth academy and the invaluable experience and opportunities he has gained during his formative years. He admits that leaving was not an easy task, but it was the decision that allowed him to rediscover his love and enjoyment of soccer and made him appreciate every moment at Nottingham Forest even more. Looking ahead, Odoi will face Chelsea with the same determination and fighting spirit, hoping to lead Nottingham Forest to victory while showing his old boss how much he has grown and improved.
