Liam Delap backed to break curse of the Chelsea No 9 shirt and earn England spot | Club World Cup

Enzo Maresca supported Liam Delap to address the pressure of managing the line for Chelsea, and it’s determined that the striker would be the next No 9 in England.

Delap is willing to leave a strong first impression after Ipswich Town 30 million pounds of pounds, and the Premier League side hopes to make Chelsea output when he opens the Club World Cup campaign in Atlanta with the Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles FC on Monday.

Although he scored 12 goals last season, the 22 -year -old child, who could not keep Ipswich on the best flight, competes with Nicolas Jackson for a starting point in the attack and seems to be instilled by his new environment. It is encouraging that Delap’s fall of Chelsea’s 9 shirts is that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the club two years ago since two years ago.

Although Romelu Lukaku and Fernando Torres were examples of the expensive No 9s floating in Chelsea, he jumped the chance to turn the international shirt under the age of 21 into himself. Delap is willing to leave a mark on an attack that suffers from an extravagant finish in recent years and to add more ruthlessness.

“Liam knows very well how important the number nine is for this club, Mare said Maresca. Orum I don’t see any problems. Liam is quite comfortable, easy, well, well -working, working well. We know each other years ago, so I know what Liam can give us. He knows what we can give him to develop and become a better player.

Maresca coached Delap when it was part of the Manchester City academy. This connection was useful when he came to convince Delap to sign a six -year agreement with Chelsea and Manchester United, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. However, Maresca did not decide whether the old Ipswich forward was on Jackson in the bourage.

“The message is always the same – you come, you work hard, you work more than the other 9,” ​​he said. “The conversation with Liam was quite clear. He was eager to join us because he knew our way of playing. We won for the first time in the under-23-year-old contest-that season scored 24, 25 goals.

“He knows exactly what we can give him and I know what Liam can give us. Speaking was quite easy. We love Liam, Liam is like us.

Maresca said Chelsea plans to sign another wing player after sending Jadon Sancho back to Manchester United. Western Londans are interested in Jamie Gitins of Borussia Dortmund.

He added Chelsea Delap, Andrey Santos, Mamadou Sarr, Mike Penders and Dario Essugo since he won the UEFA Conference League last month. They were busy in the transfer market, but Maresca refused to explain that they would revive and revive a movement for Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The attempt to sign Maignan caused uncertainty on Chelsea’s goalkeeping situation. There are indications that the club will listen to the appropriate offers for Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen. Djordje Petrovic asked him to be neglected for the squad and will leave after influencing the loan in Strasbourg. However, Maresca insisted that Sanchez was the first choice.

“The situation with the guards is quite easy,” he said. “Robert is number one. Then we have Philip, two. Penders joined us. We will see in the coming weeks. We have time to analyze and judge it.”
