0 goals and 0 assists in 5 games! Chelsea bought parallel goods for 56 million, and they dare not use him as a strong team

This summer, Chelsea won the New Club World Cup under the leadership of Maresca, and the team was in full swing. But since the start of the new season, Chelsea has performed mediocrely under the leadership of Maresca. After the UK surpassed the first five rounds, Chelsea only achieved a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, temporarily ranking 6th, and also lost 1-3 away to Bayern. The reason is that this is generally related to the effect of Chelsea's summer window signings.

This season, Chelsea has introduced strong players such as Joao Pedro, Estewan, Gittens, Garnacho, Harto, and Drapp in the transfer market. But except for Joao Pedro and Estewan, the other new players have very limited help to the team. Garnacho's time to join the team was too short, Drapp was seriously injured, and Harto was very useful, while Gittens, who was introduced with 56 million euros, can already be linked to the "parallel goods".

Last Tuesday, Chelsea defeated the League One team Lincoln City 2-1 in the League Cup and successfully advanced to the top 16 of the League Cup. In this game, Maresca was not satisfied with the team's performance. Especially Gittens, who started, played 70 minutes later, was replaced by Maresca. Facing the League One team, Gittens is normally out of the system and has a thin sense of existence. As for this game, he has played in 5 official games for Chelsea, and he still has 0 goals and 0 assists without any results.

It is worth mentioning that in the two strong dialogues between Chelsea and Bayern and Manchester United, Gittens sat on the bench and never got a chance to play. From this point of view, he has no trust from head coach Maresca at all. This summer, Gittens joined Chelsea from Dortmund for a high transfer fee of €56 million. Last season, Gittens made 49 appearances in Dortmund, contributing 12 goals and 3 assists. Among them, he scored only 8 goals and 3 assists in the Bundesliga.

Objectively speaking, Gittens's data in Dortmund are not explosive. If it weren't for the support of his local household registration in England, his transfer fee would not reach 56 million euros. In recent years, Chelsea has been plundering the little demons in football. Their signing of 21-year-old Gittens is also a "scratch lottery". But at present, Gittens's lottery has been a bit broken. Of course, it is too early to make a conclusion now, but he has not left enough impression on Maresca, and his performance at the left winger is not convincing.
