In the just-concluded Sunday match, Chelsea narrowly beat Newcastle 2-1 thanks to Galpenma's outstanding performance. The English starlet directed a brilliant victory with his excellent tactical layout and sharp running. After the match, Italian soccer legend Suna spoke highly of Galpenma, however, Galpenma, who is only 22 years old, seemed to be unaware of this and confessed, "I've only seen him in the game."
Known to fans as the "one man team", Galpenma was almost alone in controlling the tempo of the game. He was able to get past his opponents just four minutes into the game, and then 18 minutes later, he created a scoring opportunity for Nicolas Jackson with a brilliant long pass. Although Newcastle equalized in the 32nd minute, Galpenma scored his seventh goal of the season in the 47th minute to seal Chelsea's 2-1 victory.
Over the past year or so, Galpenma has earned praise for his dominant performances, and has even been recognized by Chelsea's legendary striker Suna. However, in the face of Suna's praise, Galpenma said he didn't know the Italian star: "I know Suna is a legendary player in FIFA games, so I always respect him. I did play against him in the game, but everyone said I did well."
The leader of the Maris truckboys said, "I don't think Galpenma would know Suna, but to be honest, the possibility is almost there! Of course, my Italian knows Suna very well, so it's hard to compare. All I can say is that he is a high quality player." Suna played for Chelsea between 1996 and 2003, leading the team to two Premier League titles in the "Oil Kings Era".
