Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Advises Nicolas Jackson to Embrace Ruthlessness for Chelsea’s Goal-Scoring Success.
Chelsea’s new striker, Nicolas Jackson, has been given advice by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to elevate his goal-scoring prowess. With a £32 million transfer from Villarreal, Jackson has demonstrated early potential in pre-season and the Premier League. While he hasn’t found the net yet this season, his positioning and determination show promise.
An opportunity arose against West Ham when Raheem Sterling was fouled in the penalty area. Enzo Fernandez stepped up to take the penalty, missing it. Hasselbaink, known for his straightforward penalty-taking during his Chelsea days, suggested Jackson should have taken the kick himself to open his goal account.
Hasselbaink, an ambassador for LiveScore’s Life-changing Goals campaign, expressed his thoughts in an interview. He mentioned, “I would have loved to have seen Jackson take the penalty [against West Ham]to be honest because if he scores, that would give him a little bit of confidence and he would be off the mark.”
Hasselbaink further shared, “He led the line really well against Liverpool, he was a handful against West Ham. He just needs a little bit of help, but that also just takes time to get to know your teammates and for your teammates to know you. The Premier League is not an easy league. It’s the hardest league [and]it’s the best league. He’ll be fine.”
The Life-changing Goals campaign by LiveScore donates £25 to charity for each goal scored in the top 25 leagues worldwide, as well as at grassroots level, when shared on social media with #LiveScore25.”
