Naija boys and girls, make una hear wetin happen for Portugal. Chelsea loanee Jesse Derry don score im first goal for Sporting Lisbon for friendly match against Monaco. Di match end 2-0 for Sporting, and di boy wey get 19 years old show say im get real talent.
Derry join Sporting on loan from Chelsea dis summer because im no dey get regular first-team football under Xabi Alonso for Chelsea. Di young baller don dey look for game time, and Sporting give am chance to shine. For di friendly match wey dem play for Sporting home ground, Derry come from bench for second half. But di boy no waste time. After some sloppy defending from Monaco, im receive ball, set im self well well, and find di far corner with fantastic looping strike. Di goal sweet die! Im don show say im fit score for big club.
After di goal, Derry do di famous ‘cold’ celebration wey im Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer dey do. Di celebration trend for social media, and fans don dey talk about am. After match, Derry talk say: “I couldn’t have dreamed of a better debut. This stadium is spectacular, di fans make demself heard throughout di entire game. Dis gives me plenty motivation to keep working to score more goals in front of these fans.”
Dis goal come as big relief for Derry, because im don dey struggle to get game time for Chelsea. But now, with di loan move to Sporting, im get chance to show wetin im fit do. Sporting fans don start to like am, and dem dey expect more goals from am dis season. Di coach Xabi Alonso bin don tell am say im need to improve some areas, but dis goal show say Derry dey learn fast.
Monaco, wey be Ligue 1 side, no get answer for Sporting attack dat day. Dem try to defend but di sloppy defending wey dem do give Derry chance to score. For di second half, Sporting dominate and score two goals. Di first goal na from another player, but di second goal na from Derry. Di match na friendly, but e still sweet for Sporting to beat a strong side like Monaco.
Jesse Derry na young baller wey get future. E play for Chelsea youth team before, and now e dey for Portugal to learn and grow. Di loan move go help am to get regular football and build im confidence. If e continue like dis, Chelsea go look am for future. But for now, e dey enjoy im time for Sporting, and e don start with bang.
