It’s true he deserves it (criticism) because he missed a big chance. What do you say? You have to explain, don’t you?”
“But for us It’s a different cut. It’s about seeing the potential and the ability to develop. Nicolas Jackson has the potential to be a great striker. It’s about patience and time.”
“He was criticized from the beginning. Because he was compared to Drogba when I spoke about the club’s history. It’s the same. Of course I want results now. I want to win the championship now. We were close, yes we deserved to beat Liverpool (in the Carabao Cup final).”
“But the judgment and express strong opinions It has to be careful because it’s about seeing what happens. Nico is very confident and hardworking. which is changing that opinion I am very happy that now people are starting to see Nico the way we did.”
