9 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances for a sick Chelsea. These are Nicolas Jackson’s encouraging statistics for his first season in London. However, like the Blues season, the 22-year-old Senegalese striker is criticized by a section of London supporters. Recruited for 37 million euros, the former Villarreal man misses a few opportunities despite admirable self-sacrifice. Aware that he must do better, Jackson spoke at length to the microphone of Talk Sports.
Asked about his debut with the Stamford Bridge residents, the right-hander then compared himself to Karim Benzema of Real Madrid: “sometimes I fall asleep watching the same videos, always thinking I should have done better. But when I was young, I saw (Karim) Benzema play for Real Madrid. I supported Madrid when I was young and Benzema missed a lot of chances. But you know, later he won the Ballon d’Or. I’m not saying I’m at that level. I can’t be at that level now. But I’ve seen it before, so I’m not worried. I’m just trying to get better every day and be where I want to be.»
