Former Liverpool and Burnley Striker, Peter Crouch has singled out one Chelsea player for big praise after Thursday night’s win in Europe against Gent.
Chelsea are up and running in the Conference League group stages with a 4-2 victory tonight at home to Gent.
Enzo Maresca displayed the strength in depth within the Blues squad by making 11 changes to the starting line-up.
Despite the alterations, it was another eye-catching result from Chelsea to make it five consecutive wins for the club across all competitions.
Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall were all on the scoresheet for the hosts at Stamford Bridge.
However, Peter Crouch revealed that he really liked the individual display from Chelsea’s new signing Renato Veiga against Belgium club, Gent.
The 21-year-old left-back put in another commanding performance both on and off the ball. In particular, he scored his first goal for the club with a brilliant header in the 12th minute.
“I haven’t seen a great deal of him (Veiga), but Joe Cole was telling me what a good player he was. I saw it tonight,” Crouch said on TNT Sports
“I thought he was fantastic, another fantastic player to have in the squad. A player who looked like he was enjoying himself and playing with a smile on his face.
