Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has recently talked about depression and his battle with anxiety in an interview. The defender has established himself as a first-team player at the club and is a very important player considering his versatility being able to play in a lot of positions and he is a player that a lot of manager wishes to have on their side.
The youngster got his start last season when Tuchel made him one of the important players of the side playing about 30 matches in all competitions. With the new manager coming in, Graham Potter has also started working with the player and has given him full minutes in all of their last five Premier League games.
Chelsea has looked really inconsistent this season and has one of the league’s most defensive records. Chalobah talks about his team’s playing style and how the fans react to their form in recent weeks. He also said that he suffered mental pressure while playing for a club of this stature and in important fixtures like the Champions League, he went through a lot before every matchday.
What did Trevor Chalobah have to say about his experiences playing for Chelsea?
Trevor Chalobah said in the interview, “People don’t know what players are going through. We’re normal human beings. They think we’re superhumans, that we don’t get affected by what people say, what people do. I’m the same as you guys. The start of last season, the first few weeks – the first month or so – was tough, but then I managed to pull through it.”
He added, ” It was just talking to my family, really. It was talking to people. With my family, we’re very close, we’ve always been close, we’re always talking. Playing for a big club, 40,000 every week, obviously I was used to it [from] going on loan but it’s different playing for your boyhood club, at a big Champions League-winning team the big before that.”
