Hupu News on November 23 Recently, Joe Cole said in an interview with TNTSports that Blues player Andre Santos performed "extremely well" in the game against Burnley.

Joe Cole said: "Andre Santos's performance was great. Although he didn't have many chances to hold the ball, he handled the ball cleanly and efficiently. And without the ball..."

"We did have questions before: Caicedo can protect the team by blocking running routes and destroying the opponent's offense. How should Chelsea cope without him now? But Santos's performance is absolutely top-notch. Every time there is a potential threat on the field, He can resolve it keenly. Some players seem to be born with talent in this area, and Santos is obviously one of them. "Now Chelsea has four midfielders in Enzo, Lavia, Caicedo and Santos. I don't think there is any team in the Premier League who have a better midfield combination."

"We have seen many players who choose to wait patiently for their opportunities and eventually join the main lineup. Some players - the most famous examples are De Bruyne and Salah - have chosen to refuse to wait, saying bluntly, "I need to start my career elsewhere" because Chelsea has had a tradition of hoarding players for many years, and the team's lineup is already very large. "

"So, how many playing opportunities will Andre Santos get? Will his playing time be guaranteed? Chelsea's goal is to go further on all fronts. , Andre Santos' playing time may temporarily satisfy him. But in my opinion, he has the ability to be a starting player. "

"Palmer's return from injury has become a "happy trouble" - because Joao Pedro has become more and more comfortable at the 10th position. Obviously, Palmer must also get a chance to play. Chelsea has too many choices. "
