TA: Due to the lack of competition opportunities, Gio took the initiative to communicate with Maresca and received the latter’s understanding and encouragement.

October 20th According to TA reports, Chelsea youngster Giu is winning the trust of coach Maresca with his recent outstanding performance. Previously, due to the lack of competition opportunities, Giu took the initiative to communicate with Maresca and received the latter's understanding and encouragement.

Informed sources revealed that Jiwu did not wait too long. In the game against Liverpool, he came on as a substitute for 15 minutes. In injury time, it was his movement that contained Van Dijk and created the key space for Esteban Willian's winner. In last weekend's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, he came on as a substitute in the second half. Under the team's 0-0 deadlock, he first moved to attract the defense and helped teammate Achang Pang open the scoring. Then he created a free kick himself, and Neto expanded the score. Maresca publicly praised after the game: "Just one minute into the second half, he won a corner kick in the confrontation. We need his performance."

Giu's situation this season is quite special. He was originally loaned to Sunderland, but due to a serious injury to team forward Delap, he would be sidelined until November. Chelsea recalled him urgently on August 31. This move also paved the way for Jackson to join Bayern on loan. However, six consecutive games on the bench since his return has worried him as he has been told that adequate game time will be key to his bid for a spot in Spain's World Cup squad.

The good news is that with Joao Pedro suspended in the Champions League, Giovanni is likely to start in the midweek game against Ajax. According to the rules, if he is loaned out again in January, the only option is to return to Sunderland. However, according to sources, the possibility of a January loan has not even been discussed within the club, suggesting that Gio is working his way into Chelsea's plans.
