This Time, Even Benzema Got the Ballon d’Or Even Though He Couldn’t Score A Goal

Nicola Jackson 22, Chelsea mentioned winning the Ballon d'Or this time.

Jackson joined the Chelsea team for a transfer fee of £332 million this season. With an ultra-long-term contract of eight years, he was tasked with taking charge of Chelsea's front line. However, Jackson is struggling with only seven goals in 22 league games.

Jackson is being criticized for his poor scoring ability and his ups and downs in each game. Jackson has failed to score in six consecutive games since he scored in the 17th round of the league against Sheffield United. Jackson's lackluster performance is also shown in records. According to the British newspaper The Sun, Jackson bowed his head as he missed 14 big chances in the league.

Jackson remains confident. "This is my first season in the Premier League. I don't care about the "sh***" that people who don't know soccer say. Of course, I missed a lot of goals, but the league has changed. I'm listening to the coach, not what they say," Jackson said in December.

Recently, he even mentioned Karim Benzema, who won the Ballon d'Or last year. According to The Sun, ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at 0 a.m. on the 26th Korea time, Jackson said, "I've seen Benzema play for Real Madrid in the past. He was missing a lot of scoring opportunities at the time, but he even won the Ballon d'Or." 스포츠토토

"I'm not saying I'm at that level right now. I'm just not worried because it happens. I just try to improve and be at the level I want every day," he added.

Jackson is pinning hope for improvement, but Chelsea is determined to recruit a new striker as the current striker will continue to face difficulties. Victor Osimhen Napoli, Ivan Toney Brentford, and Evan Ferguson Brighton are on the list.
