Atletico Madrid striker Morata: Chelsea left me isolated

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata admits he felt lost during his time at Chelsea.

An unconvincing season with the Blues, ended with his exclusion from Spain's World Cup squad.

“I didn't feel like doing anything, leaving home, talking to people, nothing," Morata revealed in an interview to be aired on Jugones on Wednesday.

"The only thing I had in mind was going to the World Cup, playing and being happy ... and in the end I was quite the opposite of happy."

Asked about whether he had considered considering retiring during that low point, the Atléti striker replied: “No, but I did think about playing somewhere very far away, without pressure, without having to win every Sunday, without having to concentrate for matches."
