Omo, e be like say international break don vex Fulham fans wey no too like am! Na only true football lovers dey feel all dis pauses wey dey come from Premier League wahala. But no mind dem, for us Fulham fans, this one shine well well as e come at correct time.
Two back-to-back defeats wey Fulham collect after dem don gree lead no be small thing, e be like say na double sucker punch wey dem receive. E be like say the FA gods dey laugh Josh King for corner as him dey collect disallowed goals like say na his new hobby. Na serious wahala for Marco and every Fulham diehard!
But make we reason am well, context matter. Fulham no dey shine well for south coast — last time we win there na back in 2019, we use Aleksandar Mitrović penalty carry the match. And Villa Park? No go there! Our record like say we dey find trouble. Last time be back in 2014 when we take collect one of only nine wins that season. Na so journey dey begin, back to when bell bottoms dey reign!
Every cloud get wetin dem dey call silver lining, and na Samuel Chukwueze bring fresh air for Fulham. This guy shine like diamond the way wey e dey perform since e land for the team. E no be joking matter as e give Sessegnon that exquisite through ball wey lead to first goal.
Chukwueze no just dey show say him fit play, him dey carry energy wey dey make fans dey jump up! Him dey drive, dey attack, no dem no go hear word for Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert. I go talk say him dey bring de kind play wey don dey miss for Fulham this season. In a time wey players dey prefer pass sideways, Chukwueze dey run like him get fire for him leg!
As Arsenal and Newcastle dey come on dat calendar, Chukwueze gatz start! Harry Wilson sef, no be say him no get talent o, but him no dey shine for this kind match wey suppose sweet, I fit swear say he dey better as impact sub. Marco, abeg make you open eye!
No forget say Chukwueze na once touted as number one potential for Europe. This guy don score for Bernabéu, make Real Madrid fans dey mute like church mouse. E even show Bayern Munich pepper wey send Villarreal enter semi-final for Champions League. This guy don gather experience for the biggest stage!
Shuoyah, him move from AC Milan no gel well largely because the coach no sabi wetin he dey do. But now for Fulham, Chukwueze dey shine like wetin dem dey call sunshine. International break fit be blessing for am — more time with his Nigeria padi dem, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, who sabi wetin e go do for him morale?
Dis week show say Chukwueze don gel with team like neck and head — him dey relax, dey confident, and him smiling dey carry like market woman wey just sell all him goods! Fans dey shout say Kevin gatz start, but no overlook Chukwueze. This guy fit revolutionize Fulham frontline.
So make everybody dey keep their fingers crossed as the league resume again — Fulham may just don dey find their formula for joy!
