Levi Colwill and Noni Madueke have enjoyed impressive starts this campaign and they’ve been reflecting on each other’s success.
An ever-present for the Blues in the Premier League, Colwill has played a vital part under Enzo Maresca this term.
The 21-year-old has relished the responsibility and opportunity that he has had bestowed upon him with the defender proving to be one of our most consistent players.
Opening up about his campaign so far, Levi credits the head coach for the trust that he has placed in him.
‘It’s been a very good season and I feel like the boys are connecting a lot more with each other,’ Colwill opened.
‘Personally, this year I feel much more confident. I know I can show my passing range a lot more. If the manager trusts you then it gives us the platform to go and play your best football. I think that’s what he has done with all our players.’
Speaking on Colwill’s ability, Madueke praised the defender’s contributions with the winger pleased to see him enjoying his football alongside fellow centre-half Wesley Fofana.
‘He’s done very well playing centre-back,’ Noni said of his Chelsea and England team-mate. ‘It’s a great position for him, even though he is very good at left-back as well. He’s been leading the team as much as possible. It’s fun when you’re playing with your friends.’
‘Wes [Fofana] and Levi are polar opposites, but they really complement each other. Wes carries the ball and Levi passes it.
‘Wes is front and Levi is a sweeper, but if there are games when if we all need to be on the front foot then Levi can do that. He’s the control and Wes is the aggressor.’
