Chelsea football club were in action last night against Sheffield Wednesday in part of their FA cup elimination round and as usual the result was not surprising considering the side they played. Williams score twice in the encounter that saw striker Higuain playing his first game in blue colour but Chelsea youngest star Hudson-Odoi was the talk of the post match game after a brilliant performance. The wonder Kid Last night was another opportunity for Chelsea wonder kid Hudson-Odoi utilized to prove to the Chelsea management and to all football loving fans especially the Chelsea faithful that he is an asset and a part of the future of the club. Every football fan that watched that match will attest to the fact theta Hudson-Odoi is a new face of a talent the world will know. His movement with the ball, his dribbles and well as his speed really left me dazzled most part of the match. Not only was he very effective in his wing but was pulling the attacking trigger when he gets the ball to his feet. His level of confidence with the ball has shown that he ready to play in any team first 11. Hardly do we see player at just 18 years take the ball to the defenders. Whenever he gets the ball, two Sheffield Wednesday defenders are always on the lookout for him which made is easier for him to break in from the wing into the midfield to create chances. X-raying his wonderful goal in this match shows that he got a lot of experience already. He received the long ball from the midfield inside the eighteen yard box and was able to control the ball on just one touch which most strikers will struggle to control and his ability to beat the defender was a sign of experience. Most strikers would have hit the ball toward the post on controlling it but he had to cut the ball back into the front post after using hid body movement to deceive the defender and got a clear chance to test the keeper who did little to save the ball. Chelsea assistant coach and former player Gianfranco Zola in his post match interview was full of praises about the performance of Hudson-Odoi ‘’there are not many 18 years old in Europe who are playing as he is in a big team’’ ‘’We want him to stay, we were singing as well’’ he said. Conclusion The greatest mistake Chelsea will make at this point in time when players like Hazard will be leaving by next summer and Williams hitting his pit at 30, there is need for the board to reject any price offer from any club especially Bayern that will make them release Hudso-Odoi to them. Not even a $70m price tag can get him of London. Hudson-Odoi is player I have come to admire and probably get me some affection i have for Hazard when he finally leaves us. Hudson-Odoi must not be sold at whatever price tag. I repeat, don’t sell Hudson-Odoi.
