From what i have observed. He does has the skills, but lack confidence and are bit to shy. Opposite of Bruno confidence. New one, but dont be shy. Just take your place and express yourself and show how good you really are. And with right and most effience choices...most of the times of course.
He was out with long serious injury back in time. Before that he has that woow factor, but after that i didnt see the same consistent and confidence Chong.
And another reason. You are young and playing with the BIG boys, so it can take off your confidence a bit. But again, young or old. New or old. Just take your place and show what are you been able with.
And another reason is. Remember. United were a poor attacking and a sinking ship before Bruno came. Bruno understand is able to play futsal a la Coutinho quick and pass movement Chong and Greenwood are playing. So definitely Bruno arriving will lift and help Chong performance as Bruno has lift United attacking football. Like Bruno assist free kick to Martial. Know when you have to deliver the ball and when you can take on or finish. Like James should pass the ball to Bruno 45 % out to the centre, instead of shooting. Bruno was clearly in a better finish position. Same as Martial on left. When Martial could pass to Bruno. I saw Bruno was frustrate both of times, both with Martial and James. And i did agree with Bruno. Bruno can be ego too. But most of the time. From what he has showing. Bruno is and playing the way, i would play football too. You can see Mata is improving and enjoying linking up with Bruno. Bruno will affect Chong too. No doubt about it.
I have mentioned so many times. Players success is depending on the level of your teammates. Bruno came and if 2 or more of new players on Bruno level or better. Then we can talking about top 3 or maybe premier league title. But before Bruno. United and Ole were really poor and boring as attacking team. Not only Chong. And reason why Haaland pick Dortmund over United. The level and quality of Dortmund is and were better. Bruno has close the gap between United and Dortmund a bit now.
Sum up and conclusion. Your confidence and mental is needed. Your own skills. The level of your teammates and the level of your opponents. Those 4 factors will sum you as a football player. Chong has the skills, but lacking the confidence. And should we talk about the Chong before Bruno arriving or after?Or like the United before and after Bruno arriving?You can see two different world. United havent loose with Bruno on the pitch yet. It say alot about the level and qualities of teammates factor behind a player and team success.
But in the end. Its up to United and the boy. Mine observing and opinions are that. Chong could sit on the bench and if United lead comfortable. Let him come in and play with Bruno and Martial at the same time. Then i am sure it will help and lift his performance...too...not the only one at United....as a team too.
