Thierry Henry: Chelsea star not happy with Graham Potter
Thierry Henry: Chelsea star not happy with Graham Potter. Thierry Henry, at Chelsea’s match against Wolves said that it seemed like Raheem Sterling wished that he would not have been subbed off at the end of the game.
They also struggled with their Champions League campaign as they are yet to win a match in the UEFA since their transfer window spree. After an opening match loss to Dinamo Zagreb, Graham Potter’s Chelsea side looked in need of defense. However, new signing Ángel Di María had a good start and according to Thierry Henry, Sterling seemed frustrated by it.
Thierry Henry shares thoughts on the situation of Raheem Sterling and Graham Potter when their teams were locked at a goal apiece. It seems that “Thierry Henry” was not pleased with the decision to bring in Pulisic for Sterling once Chelsea pressed for a winner because it made Sterling less effective.
Former French international Thierry Henry told CBS Sports during the broadcast of the game, ‘We noticed early on and we thought it was not a good idea to replace his goal scorer with him. Sterling scored, so why take him off?’
He expressed interest in how Sterling will behave tomorrow, considering that the two didn’t look happy. They may have been going too far, but when they showed him on the bench, I think I wouldn’t have liked to come out after scoring a goal and watching him.
Chelsea struggled to advance from the group stage with another disappointing result. Their improvement in depth was rewarded as Raheem Sterling’s performance led to a goal and better positioning in the match against RB Salzburg.
Chelsea was unable to score past the Austrian team, despite having a number of scoring opportunities. The former European Champions were eventually made to pay for not scoring as the Austrian champions equalized through Noah Okafor in the final five minutes.
Keeper Philipp Kohn tipped Hakim Ziyech’s low ball on the keeper’s post, denying Chelsea a win as Tottenham Hotspur missed out on 3 points. It was Tottenham’s first experience of the Champions League as a coach after appointing Gordon Potter and it looks like that the team has made a lot of mistakes already in their 1 game under his leadership.
While the Blues began their season with a perfect 3-0 win over Perth Glory, Sterling seemed to be disappointed with new manager, Graham Potter. According to former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, for some players it is not always helpful when a new coach comes into place.
