Discussing Jackson\u2019s slightly surprising departure, former Blues player and manager Di Matteo – speaking in association with BetVictor Online Casino<\/em> – told GOAL<\/strong>: \u201cWe can\u2019t have too many sentiments in football. I like him. He\u2019s not naturally a goal-scorer. Joao Pedro has shown that he can be a natural goal-scorer, so that\u2019s going to make a huge difference for the team because sometimes – many times – you play against teams that just sit back and you don’t have space. You need some match-winners in your team, some players that can unlock a defence, like [Cole] Palmer, like Joao Pedro, Estevao – he has started his career with Chelsea on a really positive note. And then Delap, every time that he plays or comes on he looks very strong, very sharp, physically very good.<\/p>\n “A bit harsh but maybe he didn\u2019t want to be around as second or third striker, he wanted a different challenge. He\u2019s gone to Bayern, I mean that\u2019s a top world club, it\u2019s not a small club.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
