On October 6, Beijing time, Chelsea drew with Nottingham Forest with a score of 1-1 in the 7th round of the English Premier League. After the match, Chelsea player Madouekei was interviewed and shared his thoughts on the match and the team's performance.
Madouekei began by praising his opponents for their resilient performance. He said that Nottingham Forest defended for almost the entire game and caused Chelsea a lot of trouble. Although Chelsea went into the game with the intention of taking three points, they failed to do so, which left him and his teammates frustrated. According to Madouekei, the opponents knew very well that Chelsea could become dangerous if given space, hence they opted for a tenacious defensive strategy.
Despite the tough game, Madouekei remained positive about Chelsea's performance. He mentioned that Chelsea could have scored more goals, but Nottingham Forest's defense really did a good job. He was also happy that he scored the equalizer, even though it did not help his team win the game. Madoueke said that he has missed some chances lately so the goal meant a lot to him but unfortunately it did not bring victory for his team.
Speaking about Chelsea's season so far, Maduekai believes it has started well with only one loss in the league and a lot of great performances and goals. However, he also pointed out that the team is still conceding goals that should not be conceded and this is something that needs to be improved upon. It's a good start for the new coach but the team still has a lot of room for improvement.
Finally, Maduekai spoke about being called up to the England team. He said that playing for England was an honor and that it made him feel very excited and proud. He believes that it is a recognition of his work and a major milestone in his career. Maduekai is looking forward to contributing to the England team in the coming matches and helping the team to achieve better results. Meanwhile, he also said that he will do his best to prepare for the upcoming matches, especially the important showdown against Liverpool.
