Speaking out for the first time, Danny Drinkwater discusses how the bad patch at **Chelsea**turned out to be his most frustrating period in professional football. Speaking exclusively to Drinkwater about the dearth of opportunities and lack of communication from the coaching staff alienated him. Being a £35m signing after **Leicester**‘s title-winning campaign, the English midfielder was unable to repeat those performances and found himself becoming increasingly peripheral under successive managers.
The midfielder revealed that he “was so relieved” when he left Chelsea. According to him the club mismanaged his talent and took a toll on his mental health. It also lowered his confidence. As a cautionary tale, we have learnt a lot from the story of the English midfielder.
Danny Drinkwater on Chelsea spell:
"As a whole it was obviously garbage but if you break it down I had some unbelievable times there. Not unbelievable, but really good.
The first season was a bit tricky. I picked up a few niggly injuries – it's just part of football, really. pic.twitter.com/JIg59dmTd9

Drinkwater and Chelsea
Former Chelsea player Danny Drinkwater said that being in the club was such an abhorring experience, and this frustration is likely to be the most frustrating of his life’s season. “Drinkwater recently showed anger at the club. He was unhappy with the kind of treatment he got during his time in the said club.”. Drinkwater, after failing to reclaim the shape that justified his move from Leicester, was more than thrilled to be out of Stamford Bridge. His is one of the tales of troubles that most of the outcast players who are resisting assimilation with the style at the top will eventually find themselves in.
