Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has opened up about his torrid two years at the club in an interview carried on Goal.com.
The former Real man is now at Atletico, having joined in January. We have the ability to recall him this summer, according to his quotes, but it seems pretty clear that he’s doing all in his power to stop that happening by pointing out how unhappy he was.
In a really astonishing series of quotes, he even accuses his Chelsea teammates (Spanish players excepted) of losing faith in him, and not giving him the ball in dangerous areas.
Could you really blame them Alvaro? The good news for him is that he’s settled in well at Atletico, and there shouldn’t be too much need for us to bring him back this summer. He can stop with the horror stories now.
You can read his full quotes here:
“As I arrive at the training centre [in Spain], you can see in people’s faces when they trust you. When you are in the dressing room ahead a game, you see how your team-mates look at you,” Morata moaned.
“At Chelsea there came a time when my team-mates, except for the Spaniards, well… you know, it is not the same when you play and you know that you give a pass to someone who is not going to do as well. You do not give the pass in the same way. Everyone who has played football once will understand that.”
“I want to stay at Atletico but, contractually, Chelsea can call me back. We will see what happens in the negotiations between them, but the two clubs already know what I want.”
