Why De Bruyne and Salah left Chelsea

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne in a statement has revealed why he and Liverpool star Mohammed Salah left Chelsea.

De Bruyne was at Stamford Bridge for two years, from 2012 to 2014, but made just three Premier League appearances after joining them from Genk.

The Belgian star later left Stamford Bridge and signed for Wolfsburg in January 2014.

This helped his career tremendously.

Mohamed Salah arrived in Stamford Bridge and was able to score just two goals before leaving the club for Roma and then Liverpool.

The two stars struggled to get playing time at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho but are now named among the best players in the world.

“We were just two good players who didn’t play a lot [at Chelsea],” he told Metro.

“We both needed to gain confidence and get game time and we had to go elsewhere to do that.

“Maybe it was just a coincidence. You certainly can’t compare me now to what I did then – ten years in football is your whole life.”
