Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has credited AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca for helping him rediscover his best form after a difficult start to the season, Softfootball reports.
The Nigerian international initially struggled to establish himself in the Rossoneri starting lineup, but his performances have improved significantly in recent weeks as he continues to earn the confidence of his manager.
Chukwueze made headlines last month when he scored the decisive goal in AC Milan’s narrow 1-0 Serie A victory over Udinese, ending a frustrating spell in front of goal.
The 25-year-old also impressed on the European stage by providing an assist in Milan’s UEFA Champions League victory over Belgian side Club Brugge, further highlighting his return to form.
Speaking about his recent improvement, Chukwueze praised Fonseca for believing in his ability and giving him the confidence to express himself on the pitch.
The former Villarreal star explained that the Portuguese coach has been clear with his tactical instructions, constantly guiding him on where to position himself during matches, whether operating on the right flank or drifting into more central areas.
According to Chukwueze, the trust shown by Fonseca has played a vital role in boosting his confidence and allowing him to perform at a higher level.
The winger also expressed his determination to repay the faith the manager has placed in him by continuing to deliver strong performances for the club.
With his confidence growing and consistent opportunities coming his way, Chukwueze will be hoping to maintain his impressive run of form and establish himself as a key player for AC Milan as they continue their push for domestic and European success this season.
