“I don't think Saúl is always expected at Chelsea”

Saúl's premiere at Chelsea has not been as the exrojiblanco imagined. Starting in his first game, against Aston Villa, two pass errors that compromised the blue team were quickly corrected by his coach, who solved them by removing him from the field. Premier League legend Tim Sherwood is the last to speak about him. And he does it asking for patience, but also with a warning: he will not always be expected. “Saúl was a superstar in Spain with Atlético, now he's coming to the Premier League and everything has gone too fast for him,” he said in Subway.

“Hopefully it settles and I'm sure it will get better, but I don't think these players will be expected forever, “he wielded about the ex-rojiblanco and about Timo Werner. After that bad debut, Saúl has not played again. Neither against Zenit in the Champions League nor against Tottenham.”They must start to show their worth, otherwise they will be left out and eventually end up leaving.“, he added.

His new coach, critical at his premiere: “We could see Saúl struggle to adapt, it was very difficult. He fought for turnovers and created some half chances, chances for Aston Villa and I thought it was better to change it, but that has not changed anything. I thought maybe he could just jump in and play for us at that level. “But on Friday he sent a more positive message, although the ex-rojiblanco, on loan, still has no minutes.” We have players who have experienced the same. A difficult start. I also as a coach, I watched the Premier, and when I was on the bench for the first time, against Wolverhampton, it was another level, in relation to what I had seen“.
