Forest boss opens up about the future of Chelsea loanees after not getting many opportunities
- Steve Cooper reveals Andrey Santos still has to wait for his chance.
- Ready to continue working with this player.
- This player did not have many opportunities to play.
Steve Cooper, manager of Nottingham Forest, a club in the English Premier League, revealed that Andrey Santos, the rising Brazilian midfielder, who is on loan from Chelsea and has not yet entered the field, it is a matter of the right time.
Cooper said: “Everyone wants Andrey to play more. He’s a really good young player. But there aren’t many players his age who play regularly in the Premier League. It’s a situation where, if he were our player, He will be in the perfect situation to be around the first team, looking to make his contribution. And give him opportunities when you can. You know you’re improving him. and prepare him.”
“The context is that he is not our player. He’s a Chelsea player and that might just be a little bit of a question mark in the situation, which I understand. I’m always concerned with personal youth development. It means a lot to me. Because in the past I spent many years coaching youth.”
“That will be no different working with Andrey in terms of the training programme. Yes, he has very little game time. But I think this question arises because we are not his parent club.”
For the 19-year-old star, he moved from Chelsea to play with Forest on loan this year. And just had the opportunity to play 90 minutes on the field in the Carabao Cup and another 7 minutes in the Premier League.
