Hakim Ziech says he still has a ‘way to go’


Many are calling for Hakim Ziચ to start their first official Chelsea match, and they may have been disappointed to learn that the “Wizard of AMS” was once again on the bench as the starting lineups were announced against our Champions League group stage opener. . Sevilla yesterday.

But it turns out there’s a good reason for that, as Ziech himself said in a post-match interview with Bean Sports. Thanks to the coronavirus (which canceled the March radiology season in March) and then his own knee injury (Chelsea’s only predecessor friendly in August), he is still not fully fit.

“I still have a way to go [to reach full fitness]. Naturally, I didn’t play because of the virus and for a long time [then] It was a little unfortunate that the injury happened. So I try to stay calm and everything will come soon. “

ZH, like all the others, also affects the tough challenge posed by visitors last night, and especially the difficulties of finding a place when there is such an organized, well-drilled and quality (if a little underrated) side.

“We knew before the game that Sevilla were a really good team on the ball [but] It was [also] Really hard to find places. But at the end of the day, it’s a draw, it’s an issue. We may not be happy about it, but that’s an issue. “

With Pulicic just recovering and Zych still moving fast, Chelsea are working hard to make progress on the pitch, at every level, from macro to micro, and from attack to defense.

Although not named Ivy Lever Girod, the oldest and most experienced attacking player Ziech recently observed that we need time, but we don’t even have time. A draw like yesterday gives us a little more time. Hopefully ZH will also be fit enough soon enough.
