Liam Delap has sent shockwaves through the media after openly praising a
teammate in the aftermath of today’s game. Despite bagging two stunning goals, the young striker admitted that the real hero was not himself but a fellow Chelsea star.
“Although I scored two beautiful goals today, this particular Chelsea player was actually the brain box behind it. I don’t even know how to thank him enough,” Delap confessed.
The striker went on to reveal that this player’s intelligence, creativity, and composure on the ball not only created the platform for his goals, but also helped relieve the pressure he had been under from fans and critics in recent weeks.
Delap even hinted that without his teammate’s brilliance, the noise and “003 bantering” from fans might have continued to weigh him down.
This statement has left Chelsea supporters buzzing with speculation:
Who is the mystery “brain box” Delap is talking about?
Could it be Enzo Fernández with his playmaking vision?
Or perhaps Andrey Santos, whose energy and distribution controlled the midfield?
Maybe even a wide player like Mudryk or Sterling, whose runs created space?
One thing is certain Delap’s words highlight the growing chemistry in Enzo Maresca’s side and the sense that Chelsea are slowly building a team that plays not as individuals, but as a collective unit of trust and support.
