Marseille signing Aubameyang: Players and staff didn't accept me at Chelsea

Olympique Marseille signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang feels he was never accepted at Chelsea.

Having signed a year ago from Barcelona, Aubemyang left Chelsea for OM last month.

He recalled: "At Chelsea there was a big difference compared to how I was received in Barcelona, both at the level of the staff and the players.

"At Chelsea, the context was a bit different, because my arrival was mainly thanks to Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked a week later.

"So the context was not the same and it was not easy for me. This had its share of influence, then I think there were other problems that were not my fault, but of a different nature. And I didn't play much anymore."
