Morgan Rogers Praises Chelsea's Xabi Alonso Ahead of Premier League Debut

Morgan Rogers has praised Chelsea's head coach Xabi Alonso, noting the strong impression his passing skills made during training. Rogers, who transferred to Chelsea from Aston Villa for a record fee, remarked that Alonso could still compete in the Premier League.

Rogers joined Chelsea in July, influenced by Alonso's arrival. He acknowledged Alonso's extensive playing career, which includes stints at Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, as well as his success with Spain. This background has earned Alonso respect within the Chelsea squad.

Rogers is optimistic about Alonso's management style, which encourages attacking players to express themselves freely. He believes this approach will allow him to play instinctively, similar to his time at Villa. Rogers is eager to debut under Alonso's leadership in the upcoming match against Fulham.
