In Germany, Chelsea faced Heidenheim in the Conference League, achieving a 2-0 victory. The team displayed a different style of play compared to their previous match, where they secured an impressive 8-0 win against Noah. Despite not leading at halftime, Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku opened the scoring just six minutes after the break. Heidenheim attempted to equalize, but their efforts were thwarted by an offside decision. Later in the match, Mykhailo Mudryk sealed the game with a stunning goal in the 85th minute. Peter Crouch, a former England striker, noted that several players, including Nkunku, showcased skills that warrant more playing time in the Premier League. Crouch specifically highlighted Jadon Sancho's ability to create opportunities and Nkunku's calmness in front of goal. This performance indicates the depth and potential of Chelsea's squad, even as manager Enzo Maresca rotates his players throughout different competitions to maintain freshness and competitiveness.
