On April 28, through Hupu, Chelsea officially announced the list of candidates for the best player in April, including Hutto, Esteban, Neto, Gusteau, and Sanchez.
Official announcement:
Hatto
First up, it's Hatto who's been showing off extremely prominently this month. This defender, who plays as a defender, has participated in almost all games, starting from the FA Cup match against Port Vale, to the away match against Brighton in the Premier League, playing the full 90 minutes in 4 consecutive games. Moreover, he also scored a goal during this time in April. In the 7-0 victory over Port Vale, he successfully scored in just 64 seconds.
esteban
Next up was Esteban. In early April, his performance was extremely eye-catching. In the game against Port Vale, he contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, and was elected as the best of the match. In the FA Cup quarter-finals, he was a constant threat from the left. Later, he also started and participated in the games against Manchester City and Manchester United. However, against Manchester United, he left the game early due to injury.
Neto
During this period, Neto's performance at the winger position was equally remarkable. Although he did not score a goal, he contributed extremely crucial assists. He set up Joao Pedro's second goal against Port Vale and provided the right pass for Enzo Fernandez to head home Enzo Fernandez's header at Wembley to advance to the FA Cup final.
Gusteau
The fourth candidate is Gusteau. He is one of the more stable players this month. He will play no less than 80 minutes in every game. At the beginning of the month, in a match against Port Vale, he made a precise pass and helped Tosin Adarabioyo score with a header, making the score 4-0.
Sanchez
Goalkeeper Sanchez was the last one, and he made many important saves at very critical moments. A clean sheet was achieved against Port Vale and a clean sheet was also achieved against Leeds United. The most exciting performance of the month came at Wembley, where he denied many equalizing opportunities, including a close-range foot block and a key save in the second half.
