Paulo Ferreira & Neil Bath praise the loan system
Neil Bath, Chelsea's head of youth development, and Paulo Ferreira, Assistant Loan Player Technical Coach recently spoke about the challenges and rewards the loan system has had.
Neil Bath told chelseafc.com via Tribalfootball: "In many ways the trophies can be seen as the highlight of our season but I take just as much pleasure in how players like Christensen have performed this year.
"A 19-year-old centre-half experiencing his first taste of senior football and he has practically played every week in the Bundesliga for Borussia Monchengladbach. Not only that, he has also helped them qualify again for the Champions League next season and made his senior international debut.
"It is always interesting to see how players handle breaking into the senior game and developing away from the club for the first time. It's about taking your opportunities and Andreas has certainly done that this season."
Paulo Ferreira, Assistant Loan Player Technical Coach, spoke of how well the likes of Nathan Ake and Andreas Christensen have adapted to life on loan.
