Rogers hails Alonso for ‘exciting’ Chelsea goal spree
'It's a really enjoyable team to play in,' said the new Chelsea forward.
Morgan Rogers hailed Xabi Alonso for transforming Chelsea into an "exciting" force following their 6-3 win over Leeds in the League Cup. The match, Chelsea's third-round rout in the competition, showcased Alonso's remarkable goal-scoring ability since taking charge at Stamford Bridge in the close-season. In the match, Palmer, Neto, and Rogers made an immediate impact after coming on at half-time, causing havoc in the visitors' defense with three assists each.
Rogers credited Alonso's influence, stating, "It’s so enjoyable to play with high calibre players that are here. I’m enjoying my football, trying to be free, and showing what I’m about." Palmer, a close friend of Rogers since their time in the Manchester City academy, also praised Alonso, saying, "Playing with a smile and playing free.
Good things are happening at the moment, so it’s nice. It’s a really enjoyable team to play in." Alonso acknowledged the importance of the bond between Palmer and Rogers, both on and off the pitch, and admitted taking a risk by making nine changes in a critical match. He expressed satisfaction with the result and the team's reaction.
