The fact that Sterling was excluded from the Chelsea squad for “technical reasons” in the first round of the Premier League has caused a stir in England. English legend Alan Shearer has boldly predicted that this is just the beginning and that Chelsea will have more similar dramas to come.
Shearer said: “Remember my words, this won’t be the only drama Chelsea has. Maresca will have to deal with similar issues all season”.
Shearer made these remarks on his football podcast: “From what I understand, he (Sterling) participated in all pre-season training, and then was told on Friday that he’d better find another club, because they’ve brought other people in for his position. It’s really tough, especially for him, because, as far as I can remember, Sterling has never been unprofessional at Chelsea. It’s very frustrating”.
Sterling, after being excluded from the squad by the coach for “technical reasons”, released a public statement stating that he has a 3-year contract with Chelsea, and his performance in the preseason was positive, and the club needs to give a clear response. This approach is tantamount to forcing the club’s hand, and has sparked widespread controversy.
Shearer pointed out: “I agree that this is frustrating, but making such a statement is also inappropriate. It will only make it harder for him, if he really wants to play for Chelsea and stay, then this will make it harder for himself. It will cause more chaos around the club. Chelsea is forced to deal with a lot of off-field issues”.
There are many experts who share Shearer’s views. Chelsea currently has more than 40 players, and the chaos in management is evident. It’s very likely that other controversies, even drama, will arise.
