The England starting side had a brand new look to it when they took on Greece in the Nations League last night. Noni Madueke was handed a start on the right of attack, with him now the only Chelsea representative on display after Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill withdrew from action.
The winger made the most of his opportunity to make an impression on the international scene, especially in the first half.
Madueke’s performance, which included an assist on Ollie Watkins’ opening goal, thrilled Chelsea supporters.
Noni Madueke for England greatly impressed Roy Keane.
The Blues player did no harm to his hopes of making future appearances, since there is fierce competition for spots in an England team that Thomas Tuchel will be managing in the new year.
Madueke’s desire to go off the ball to support attacks last night greatly impressed Roy Keane.
“Do what you did for the goal, and moments like this,” he remarked. It’s imperative that you run off the ball. Everyone attending the ball is the subject of an obsession. Teams must be stretched.
“You observe the players he will be facing. He’s a handful if he constantly picks on you. You must have an impact on the game, and he is doing just that. Although he needs to understand the defensive aspect of the game, he would pose a threat to any defender in these spots.
