Hudoy: Playing at wing-back requires being more defensively conscious, which improves my defensive ability

Live Bar, January 28 - After Tuchel took office, Hudson-Odoi played a number of roles in the Chelsea squad, and in addition to his best winger position, the Englishman also tried the role of wing-back and centre-forward. In an interview with Chelsea's official website, Hudson-Odoi talked about his role on the pitch.

Hudson-Odoi said: "As a winger and a player of the no. 10 position, I would definitely say I prefer a more offensive position. Obviously, I like to play more directly, create chances for my teammates to score goals, and hopefully I can score some goals as well. In a position like this, I play more comfortably and freely. ”

"So, it's definitely a good position where I can get rid of defence and try to create chances or score goals, and as for wing-backs, it's definitely more defensive. Your mindset is more about protecting your own goal than attacking your opponent's goal. ”

"In a position like wing-back, you always have to go and fill space for your teammates. For example, in the case of a centre-back forward, you need to fill in the defensive holes that appear after he leaves. So, it's definitely a different position and it's definitely harder to play, so I prefer to play in an offensive position. ”

"In the game, sometimes I'll be in the wing-back position and I'll look forward to getting involved in attack up front. However, I also know how to cut off the ball and the opponent will counterattack, and the pursuit defense will need to run a long distance. Therefore, whether or not to participate in the attack depends on the situation of the game. ”

"For me, playing in a position like full-back can improve my ability defensively. In a position like this, you have to be more defensive, so you have to judge when to make a tackle, not a reckless steal. When covering your teammates, you want to make sure you're in the right position. In one-on-one situations with your opponent's attacker, you have to make sure you don't get out of the way easily. ”
