Tiemoue Bakayoko has come in for criticism this season after Sean Rodriguez Jersey struggling to adapt to Chelsea after his 40 million move from Monaco, but William Gallas thinks he should ignore the critics and take his time to adapt to English football.

At itsnadir, he was dismi sed againstWatford, who went on to thrash the Blues 4-1.A small section of the Chelsea support booed Bakayoko upon his return against Crystal Palace, but Gallas thinks that the star can go from zero to hero very quickly.

Maybe they are right so maybe you Dave Cash Jersey have to work more, but dont let people put you down because you play football. That was your dream to play football and you made a lot of sacrifices to be where you are. Dont let people put you down and take the criticism in a positive way. Try Chuck Klein Jersey to finish the season well and be ready for next year. You can prove people wrong because if you start to play well next season everyone will say: Oh yeah, Bakayoko is the best midfielder we have.Everyone knows how it works so just ignore what people say to you. I was in the same situation, I will give you my best example. When I JT Realmuto Jersey moved from Arsenal to Tottenhamin my first game, my fans were booing me. I said Oh my God!First game boos, second game boos. I said: Okay, I decided to play for Spurs for many reasons and no one knows exactly why you went to Tottenham, so you have to show you are working hard and prove them wrong.Slowly, slowly, they started to clap me. Thats football. Thats why we love football. I know now football is really, really impatient. People want results straight away, but what we have to understand is Blank Jersey that he arrived from Monaco. The English language is not his first language so you have to adapt. He has to adapt as well to Premier League football, you have to give him time. Thats why it is really difficult to speak before, I like to give time to the players and the manager. For me, if I have to judge him, I will do it next season. For me, this season is aboutadaptation. Everything changed for him. Football, language, maybe John Kruk Jersey the family, maybe it is difficult forhim to find an apartment or a house and to feel good. I will judge him next season.

Gareth Bale has had a brilliant career at Real Madrid by trophy count, but a combination of injuries and his sour relationship with the Spanish media has made him a polarising figure. In recent times, Bale has shown a real love for playing for his country, but a perceived lack of interest in playing for his club - a situation which came to a head in 2019, when he infamously held up a banner reading: "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order." From game to game, it's become near-impo sible to predict whether he will start or even feature for Los Blancos - and starring for Wales in the international Joaquin Benoit Jersey break, he ended the game with a knock to throw more doubt over his status Juan Soto Jersey . Will Bale play against Chelsea? Despite barely featuring this season, Bale did star for Wales in the international break, scoring two goals to help send Wales into the final qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup. He has been seen in training ahead of the first leg against Chelsea, and following his succe s for his country, he may be awarded his first start for his club since February 12. He didn't feature in the 2-1 victory against Celta Vigo at the weekend, potentially being saved by manager Carlo Ancelotti for the game against Chelsea. He hasn't been a favourite under the Italian manager in their second spell together, but he is available and could be an option off the bench on familiar ground. What is Bale's injury record this season? This season has been nothing but one continuous merry-go-round of injuries for the four-time Champions League winner. Now 32 years old, the Welshmanhas of course suffered from regular knocks for the last few seasons. MORE: That's certainly been the case in 2021/22, as Bale has Bryce Harper Jersey suffered calf and back injuries, plus a couple of minor muscular i sues, as well as testing positive for Covid-19. The worst layoff was the eight weeks he spent injured with a knee problem at the start of the season. In all, Bale has been forced out of 28 games acro s all competitions this term. How much has Bale played this season? This season has seen Bale barely feature, with only five appearances acro s all competitions for Real Madrid. Patrick Corbin Jersey Four of those came in La Liga, with all four actually seeing him in the starting XI. He's racked up more yellow cards (two) than goals (one). His sole strike was the opener in a 3-3 draw against Levante. The former Tottenham Hotspur superstar has also played once in the Champions League - a three-minute cameo against Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round. In fact, he's only completed 90 minutes once this season and that was for Wales in their World Gio Gonzalez Jersey Cup qualifier versus Austria. Goals in 51 minutes for : 2Goals all season for : 1 Gareth Bale always proves his worth for Wales! UK (@sportingnewsuk) Is Bale leaving Real Madrid in the summer transfer window? For Bale, there's always talk of a move away from Madrid, given that his relationship with the fans, club and Spanish media is a particularly toxic one. This summer, it will happen.The Welshman is out of contract this summer, meaning he can join another club on a free transfer. He did get a loan move in 2020/21 back to Tottenham, but endured an Kurt Suzuki Jersey inconsistent return to English football. MORE: While he will command no transfer fee and carries a wealth of experience, it's difficult to predict where Bale will end up after this season, given his attitude to playing in recent years and whether any team would take a risk on his injury record. Various reports claim that he could potentially retire after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (if Wales qualify). Others suggest that Bale may choose to only retire from club football, and extend his international career. In terms of a club move, the most-linked side in recent weeks has been hometown club Cardiff City, currently playing in the Championship.

Thibaut Courtois has countered talk of a player revolt at Chelsea against under-fire bo s Antonio Conte by claiming we believe in him. following back-to-back defeats against Bournemouth and Watford. , with the reigning Premier League champions looking a shadow Yoenis Cespedes Jersey of the side which swept aside all before them in 2016-17. Conte has cut a frustrated figure throughout a faltering Jose Bautista Jersey defence of that crown, with and support of owner Roman Abramovich. Courtois has, however, suggested that the Chelsea squad remain fully supportive of their bo s, telling the clubs official website: We had some good games, a lot of draws and two lo ses and we have to find our form from before the new year again, and hopefully it will get better. We believe in him Conte and we believe in our team. We Devin Mesoraco Jersey have two bad results and we just try to get back, regroup and just continue. We showed that we wanted to fight even with 10 men in a 4-1 defeat to Watford and that shows we have character, but when you lose twice like that it is not good and there are questions raised, but we go back to training with the manager, and training well and turn this situation around. Obviously we are disappointed with the two results we have had in the last week, obviously it is not good but we have to regroup in Marcus Stroman Jersey training, have heads high and continue the hard work and just continue what we were doing. We have now two bad lo ses but we are a team with the manager, and everyone is positive about that, and we Nolan Ryan Jersey will try to do our best to win next week. Chelsea are next in action on February 12 against West Brom. It remains to be seen whether Conte will still be at the helm for that fixture, but one potential succe sor has ruled out a move to Stamford Bridge this season. Goal revealed earlier on Tuesday that former Barcelona bo s Luis Enrique has no intention of returning to coaching midway through Wilmer Flores Jersey a campaign, with any offers put to him set to be considered in the summer.

Arsenal bo s Arsene Wenger is renowned for giving young players the opportunity to shine in thefirst team and, on Sunday, Joe Willock made his first Premier League start, against Newcastle. The 18-year-oldis another highly-rated academy graduate who was promoted to the senior squad after an impre sive pre-season last summer alongside the likes of Rei s Nelson and Eddie Nketiah. Willock appeared in both Europa League group games against Red Star and BATE Borisov this season, while also making a cameo appearance off the Ryon Healy Jersey bench against Ostersunds FK in the round of 32. He found game time difficult to come by after being part of the Arsenal midfield that was over-run in the shock4-2 by Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round in January. The match showcased Arsenals vulnerabilities and Willock struggled to get a grip on the game, with the more experienced players also turning in a dismal performance. However, formerArsenal captain and coach Thierry Henry is also a big fan of Willock's and believes that the Jay Buhner Jersey English youngster has shown strength of character to reach the first team when many werent convinced that he would make it due to his lack of physical presence. When I was with the academy he came along at London Colney at around 16 years old, the Frenchmansaid on Sky Sports . Its not easy for him because he has a big brother at Man United (Matty) and another brother also at Arsenal who Guillermo Heredia Jersey is now at Benfica (Chris). So, it wasnt an easy one for him and people were not too sure. Although he was still young, as you can see he is still only 18, he was only 16 and he didnt meet his body yet, if I Braden Bishop Jersey can say. It was kind of weird; he didnt have the puberty conversation yet! The debate over Willocks lack of physical presence is nothing new, though.The same questions have been asked about Nelson and Nketiah, the two other English talents to have brokeninto the senior squad this season. While a bulky frame can help you in the Premier League, its worth noting that many of the best players nowadays focused on keeping lean in a bid to increase their pace and power. Respected and admired for his hard working nature on the training ground, Willock played three times for the under-17s last season and can Reggie McClain Jersey play acro s the midfield or in the No.10 role. Indeed, while he himself says that he idolises Lionel Me si and believes that his greatest strengths are his dribbling and creativity, he feels the top player he's most similar to is Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba. Willock is certainly highly rated at the Emirates, having been given afirst profe sional contract with the Gunners in November, with Wenger and his coaching staff in no doubt that he has what it takes to push on to the next level. Willock may havespent much of his younger years in the shadow of his siblings and with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka, Aaron Ramsey and Mohamed Elneny all competing for a place in Arsenals midfield, a loan spell away from north London could be the best option for Willock next season. However, these final games of Justus Sheffield Jersey the Premier League season present the perfect opportunity for the youngster to showcase his talents and convince Wenger he is ready for the first team. Certainly, his start against Newcastle on Sunday certainly won't be his last. Related Articles
