Sam Rak-Sakyi has expressed his satisfaction after making his full senior debut for Chelsea, despite the challenging conditions he faced on the pitch.
The young forward, who has made an impressive rise through the ranks, spoke about the experience after the match.
They were tough conditions but you’ve got to be ready to play. I’m just happy to have had the opportunity,” Rak-Sakyi said, highlighting the difficult circumstances he had to overcome in his debut.
The 19-year-old revealed that he was informed about his starting role on the day of the match, adding an element of surprise to the moment.
I found out today in the meeting that I was starting, so it was a late one.
But I wasn’t too surprised because of the number of players that travelled and because the coach was talking to me before we got here, so I had a feeling.
Rak-Sakyi’s performance marked a significant milestone in his career, and his determination and readiness for the occasion were evident as he made his mark in Chelsea’s senior squad.
