Former Chelsea winger reveals why he acted differently from other players

Former Chelsea winger and Brazil star Willian in a statement has opened up on why he acted differently from other players when he left Arsenal.

William, who left Chelsea for Arsenal in 2020 at a point ended his contract with the Gunners and walked away from the Emirates Stadium without demanding a cent.

The winger has revealed why he decided against running down his contract at the club despite not feeling comfortable as many football stars would do as to many players what matters is the money.

Willian struggled at the north London club that he was only able to create two assists on his debut for the Gunners and would leave the Gunners after just one year.

He then moved to Brazil where he played briefly for Corinthians and the 34-year-old is now back in London to join Fulham.

“I think I’m maybe the only player who has done something like this,” Willian told the Athletic.

“Any other player in my situation would have stayed until the end of the contract and kept picking up the money. But I’m not like this.

“Money is not the most important thing in the world. I have to feel good, to feel motivated to go to training. I wasn’t having that, so I decided to leave.”
