Chelsea players are ‘angry and disappointed’ – Raheem Sterling

Chelsea star, Raheem Sterling has said that he and his teammates are disappointed with their abysmal performance this season.

Sterling who joined the Blues from Manchester City last summer for a fee in the region of £47.5 million ($59.7m), shared his teammates’ frustration during an interview with The Sun.

He further stated while he enjoyed his time at his previous club and won a lot of trophies, he is seeking to solve the new challenge at Chelsea.

Sterling said;

“We are disappointed when we come off the pitch and feel angry and disappointed. There are times when we finish a game you just sit in the changing room looking into space because you can’t understand what has just happened. It’s tough to take. You are always trying to look for a positive solution. There will be conversations, players trying to come to terms with what has happened in the last ten minutes or so. It’s not easy.

“We need to look in the right direction and look to whoever comes in as the next manager to build for the future. I enjoyed my time at my previous club and won a lot of trophies. But I like a new challenge and this is the challenge I signed up for. It will taste even sweeter to win silverware coming from a moment like this than if you were winning every single week. The ability in the dressing room is undeniable and if we have someone who can take control of that we are more than capable of challenging every year.”

Chelsea currently sits 12th on the EPL table in what has been described as their worst-ever Premier League campaign.
