Chelsea academy graduate speaks on his skills

Chelsea academy graduate Reece James in a recent statement spoke about the secret behind his impressive numbers for the club.

James, who scored six goals and created 10 assists for Chelsea last season, which were his best figures in senior football, spoke about his ability to striker the ball whenever the opportunity comes.

The Blues star in a statement via Chelsea’s website said, ‘I know my ability and how well I can strike a ball. Whenever I get the opportunity, I always try and score and give myself the best chance of scoring or getting an assist.

‘Full-backs were just full-backs before, but now they’re trying to use them as an extra player. We have space there and sometimes it works in your favour.

‘It’s great when you get high up the pitch and attack but sometimes the game is more difficult and you can’t do that because you’re defending more. In football, anything can happen and counter-attacks happen every game, so you have always got to remain switched on and not go to sleep.’
