Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca very happy with Nicola Jaxon's performance

Nicolae Jackson's goal performance has been sluggish recently, but Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca is still satisfied with Jackson's performance and gave him encouragement.

The 23-year-old Jacquesson moved to Chelsea in the summer of 2023. This season, Jacquesson played 15 Premier League games for Chelsea and contributed 9 goals. However, Jacquesson has not scored recently, and Chelsea has not won 4 consecutive games in the recent Premier League.

Chelsea is about to face Bournemouth at home. In the pre-match press conference, when asked about Jacquesson's performance, Maresca replied: "He has to keep working the way he is now."

"We are completely satisfied with Nikola's performance. We can't judge him only by goals. We evaluate his performance from many aspects. I spoke to Nikola a few days ago. Last year he scored 14 goals in the Premier League, and there were no penalties."

"Haaland, Salah, Palmer all have penalties. If you score 14 or 15 goals in the Premier League and add five penalties, you become a 20-goal season scorer. This season, Nikola has scored nine goals and with a few penalties he might be closer to 13 or 14."

"He has to keep working the way he is and he will score goals for sure. He is unlucky sometimes because in all the games where he doesn't score he has chances to score. Sometimes it just doesn't happen so he has to keep working like this."
