1 min read
Conor Gallagher recently explained his departure from Chelsea, attributing it to the club’s new strategy of signing players on extended contracts. Gallagher mentioned that this policy influenced his exit, as he wasn’t aligned with the long-term plans that Chelsea had for new signings. Despite the change, he believes the outcome was positive for all parties involved, expressing satisfaction with the resolution.
Conor Gallagher, who has recently featured for Atlético Madrid, is now with Lee Carsley’s England squad gearing up for Saturday’s UEFA Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland. Addressing pre-match comments, Gallagher defended his technical abilities, rejecting claims that he lacked the skill to thrive under Maresca’s system.
Conor Gallagher addressed recent criticisms of his technical ability, asserting, “I don’t believe that’s true. Personally, I had a strong season with Chelsea last year, as evidenced by Pochettino’s consistent selection and trust in me.” He added, “The fans recognized and appreciated my efforts on the pitch, and I’m very grateful for their support. I’m also thankful to Pochettino for providing me with the opportunity to showcase my skills and present my best self at Chelsea.” Gallagher shared these thoughts with reporters.
