Jadon Sancho Takes Dig at Erik ten Hag in First Chelsea Interview
Jadon Sancho has joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, and the 24-year-old has wasted no time in making his mark at his new club. In his first interview as a Chelsea player, Sancho seemed to take a subtle dig at his former manager Erik ten Hag, hinting that he’s not a fan of the Dutchman’s tactics.
Speaking to the media, Sancho said: "I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project. I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself, it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started."
Sancho’s comments seemed to suggest that he was more drawn to Chelsea’s playing style under manager Graham Potter, which is known for its attacking flair and emphasis on individual creativity. This could be a subtle jab at ten Hag, who has been criticized for his tactics at Manchester United, which have been described as defensive and conservative.
Sancho’s loan move to Chelsea is a major coup for the club, and he will be expected to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. The winger has already spoken about his excitement to play for Chelsea, saying: "They’re signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that. I enjoy his style of play. The wingers when they get on the ball, he loves them to go one versus one and be direct. We play a lot of one-twos with the 10s and the striker combination plays. It’s very attractive and it’s a style that I play."
Sancho’s comments suggest that he is eager to get started at Chelsea and make a positive impact on the team. With his pace, skill, and creativity, he could be a major asset for the Blues in the coming season.
