In their Stamford Bridge derby meeting, Chelsea player Noni Madueke revealed a significant “rivalry” with Arsenal and said that he wanted to earn “bragging rights” over the two teams.
The England midfielder Noni Madueke has spoken about his desire to gain “bragging rights” over Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka by defeating Arsenal in Sunday’s London derby.
The winger for Chelsea will be aiming for a starting spot in a Premier League title-clinching matchup at Stamford Bridge. The game is sure to be intense.
The Gunners, managed by Enzo Maresca, have lost their previous three Premier League matches against Bournemouth and Newcastle, and they also lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League last week. This puts Chelsea in the unique situation of being ahead of them.Lee Carsley has named Madueke, Rice, and Saka to the England squad, and the Chelsea star is eager to get the better of his Three Lions teammates before they leave for the next camp.
With nine straight starts in the English Premier League and four goals scored, the 22-year-old has been instrumental in Chelsea’s incredible start to the season.Madueke has now admitted that there is more at stake for him than simply three points in the upcoming derby between two legendary rivals from London.
They’ve been title contenders in recent years, and they’re still a fantastic squad. The Chelsea star, nevertheless, stated that his team would approach this encounter just like any other.There’s bound to be some healthy competition between the lads, but I can assure you that both my teammates and I will be bringing our A-game to Sunday’s match.
It’s the same as any other Premier League match, but playing against them on the national team adds an extra layer of animosity.
We have to strive to win those games; we get frustrated anytime we lose, and Manchester United was no exception. “We also lost to Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest,” he continued.
The Arsenal midfielder missed last week’s match against Inter, so his availability to play versus Rice is still up in the air. He will have a late fitness call to determine his playing status.
