After experiencing internal struggles, Chelsea Stricker Armando Broja has acknowledged feeling “a bit down” this season.
The pressure will always be there because, to be honest, Chelsea’s season has been challenging overall and many players have had difficulty finding consistent form.
Chelsea striker Armando Broja admits he is feeling “a bit down”
Chelsea striker, Armando Broja has acknowledged that he has found it difficult to handle the pressure of being relied upon to score goals, and as a result, he is depressed.
Broja also only recently recovered from a serious injury, so it was only a matter of time before he found his footing.
Hopefully, his goal against Preston North End on Saturday night in the FA Cup will give him the confidence he needs to go forward. In Nicolas Jackson’s absence, he has a genuine opportunity to make an impression.
In words cited by The Evening Standard, Broja said: “When you go on a run where you are not scoring much, you can get a bit down. It’s not the greatest feeling, but getting a goal in a game like this makes up for it.
“It is our job – we get paid to score goals. It’s what everyone sees as a striker, someone who scores goals. It is difficult because everyone expects you to score every game but there have been great players who have not done that.
“The result comes first but personally I love to score goals. I’m a striker; it’s something that I love doing.
“I am a bit harsh on myself at times. That’s because I expect a lot from myself and I know what I am capable of. The manager is just trying to take that weight off my shoulders and loosen myself up that little bit.
“I’m trying to take that advice on board because he has been helping me every day. I just need to smile more and be a bit more positive.”
