“Some problems” – Chelsea player details ‘personal life’ issues that factored poor form | OneFootball

One Chelsea player has been speaking this weekend about some of the bad form that he and his Chelsea team mates had recently been through.

Things have gotten a lot better this season for Chelsea, at least so far anyway. Enzo Maresca has come in and got the team playing well, and the results have been better.

There is always going to be many elements to why a team is playing badly, and the main thing really for Chelsea over recent years under the new ownership is that there have just been so many changes, a massive squad rebuild, and a team that is very young and inexperienced.

But as well as that, they perhaps picked managers who weren’t suitable, and made some other mistakes along the way.

One other reason is the players might have been going through some off-field issues, and that is what Marc Cucurella has been detailing this weekend.

Personal issues factor into bad form

Cucurella has hit some very good form

‘It changed very fast,’ Cucurella said on his form. ‘I tried to work on me and what I can do better. We have started to create something important so we need to keep going.

‘Sometimes it’s difficult, we have a personal life, some problems, but now we are very good. I try to work on me and myself. I try to work on my confidence.

‘It’s not easy. It’s the most difficult part of football. One day if you play badly, you feel like you are the worst player. Another day if you play good you might think you are the best.

‘But you need to stay in the middle. If you lose, you’re not the worst. If you win, you’re not the best. Just stay there, focus on what you can improve and try to build on this and trust yourself.

‘If you play for Chelsea, it’s because you have strong qualities. In all careers, you have better and worse moments. But it’s about never stopping working and believing in yourself.’
