Less than 48 hours after sealing a €12 million move to CSKA Moscow, Chidera Ejuke was handed his debut as they ran out 3-0 winners over Akhmat Grozny.
Ejuke was handed his debut coming in as a substitute after 65 minutes and he immediately got on the act with his trademark dribbling which made him a big hit at Dutch side Heerenveen.
He was on the pitch when CSKA Moscow scored their other two goals but despite seeing most of the ball he wasn’t involved in any of the goal scored by his team who were just too strong for their opponent.
Just like it was during his time in the Netherlands, a cross section of the fans were unhappy with his dribbling even when a pass would have been better but others were impressed with the way he glide past his opponents.
The one area of his game he need to balance is to find a balance between dribbling and passing in key moments during games as it is part of the reason why his goal count isn’t as high as it is suppose to be.
