This Sunday on behalf of the 18th day of the championship once morest a badly ranked, Nottingham Forest.
The Atlas lion started the game on the bench like his friend Kovacic who also recently returned from the World Cup.
Graham Potter, the English technician at the head of the Chelsea team, nevertheless ended up calling on his Atlas Lion, his team being badly embarked once morest the penultimate of the championship.
A LITTLE 1/4 HOUR…
Despite a fairly short playing time, it seems clear that the level of the team with and without Hakim is not the same. The movements and especially the vision of the game and the ball touch of Ziyech were greatly appreciated. However, his openings and crosses were not taken advantage of by his teammates.
Finally the Blues had to concede the draw once morest Nottingham Forest on their ground 1 goal everywhere.
His coach nevertheless insisted on emphasizing his involvement and especially what he sees in Hakim:
Graham Potter :
“Hakim Ziyech had a great tournament (Editor’s note at the World Cup) so he came back at a good time, the same with Kovacic… they didn’t spend a lot of time with us but their influence was good.”
