Chelsea star reacted after Todd Boehly criticism him in the dressing room
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly singled out a big-money signing for poor performances this season in a dressing room meeting last weekend. The player was left disappointed and cut a disgruntled figure in training ahead of the crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid.
As per the Telegraph and the Guardian, Boehly was not happy with the position Chelsea have found themselves in this season. He wants the players to focus on the Champions League as they only have that competiton to play for this season.
Jacob Steinberg noted in the Guardian: “It is understood that one senior player, signed for a large fee in the past 12 months, was singled out for heavy criticism. That player, whose identity is not being disclosed, is believed to be disillusioned with the situation and cut a disgruntled figure in training before Chelsea attempt to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg against Madrid.”
The identity of the player has not been revealed in either report, but Chelsea fans believe it is Raheem Sterling due to his poor performances this season.
