Hudson-Odoi speaks on his goal assist in club world cup final

Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi has opened on his goal assist in the Blues final match vs Brazil side Palmeiras over the weekend.

The match saw Hudson-Odoi create the goal assist for the first goal for Chelsea, which Romelu Lukaku scored.

Hudson-Odoi, during the match, sent a cross that found Romelu Lukaku, who sent a powerful header into the top corner, which led to the first goal.

‘We try to link up as much as possible,’ added Callum. ‘I think whether it’s in training or games we try our best to see each other’s strengths and what we try to implement in our games. We know that Rom sometimes likes it to feet, he likes it in behind, he likes it in the air.

So at that moment when I saw him with the ball I thought: “you know what, I know Rom, if I get this cross perfect he’s going to score it”. So as soon as I got it in there I said to myself “yeah, it’s a goal”. As soon as it went in my head was just going crazy.

‘But we combine a lot in training and obviously in games we’ve been trying to as much as possible. Sometimes it doesn’t work, sometimes it does, but at the end of the day you’ve just got to be positive, just keep going and trying to push as much as possible.

‘So that’s what we try to do, keep trying to combine and hopefully he’ll get more chances and score more goals.’
