Ukrainian soccer legend Andriy Shevchenko covered Mudrikh with his country’s junior Mikhail.

Chelsea lost 0-2 in the 2022/23 season Premier League round 29 home match against Aston Villa held at Stamford Bridge in London, England on the 2nd (Korean time). Chelsea, who failed to obtain points, remained in 11th place in the league with 10 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses, with 38 points.

Mudrik, who started as a left striker on the day, was criticized for missing two decisive opportunities.

Moudrik, who took the ball with forward pressure in the 5th minute of the first half, failed to score in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper메이저놀이터. On the other side, Kai Havertz was waiting in a no-mark state, so Mudrik’s judgment was regrettable.

In the 30th minute of the first half, he slipped into exquisite penetration and faced another one-on-one opportunity, but took the shot timing too quickly and was easily blocked by the goalkeeper. Mudriq was eventually replaced by Noni Madueke in the 12th minute and left the field.

Moudrik, who left Shakhtar for £88.5 million (about 140 billion won) in the transfer market last winter and entered Chelsea, is expected to revitalize the flanking attack.

However, he is receiving a lot of criticism as he has only 1 assist and no goals in 8 games.

Seeing this, Shevchenko defended Mudrik. Former Chelsea star Shevchenko told the BBC: “Mudrik needs time”.

Shevchenko said, “Chelsea bought a young but talented player for the future. Mudrik has just entered the big leagues.”

He continued, “Mudrik is part of Chelsea’s ambitious project. The decision to sign Mudrik shows how much the club believes in his talent.”

Meanwhile, Shevchenko wasn’t a player who performed well at Chelsea either. He made a name for himself as one of the best strikers in the world, with Dynamo Kieu and AC Milan, but only scored 9 league goals in 2 seasons with Chelsea.
