Callum Hudson-Odoi finally got his chance - the 18-year-old Englishman played his first Premier League match in the starting lineup on Wednesday.
In London, Chelsea defeated Brighton 3-0 at home, and C. Hudson-Odoi contributed to the victory with one assist.
"The Blues" fans have been criticizing Maurizio Sarri for some time for not giving a chance to the young Englishman, but the coach is ready to rectify the situation.
"It is impossible to be a top-level player when you are only 18 years old," Sarri began the conversation. "Callum still has room to improve, and he can and wants to do it. I think in the future, he can become one of the best players in Europe."
"As I said on Tuesday, Callum is ready to play in every match, including the most difficult ones. He has definitely improved his game.
"I am pleased with his performance, he played very well. I am also very happy with his defensive work. It is essential to have three attacking players who can also defend. tactically, he is ready," added the coach.
