The Chelsea striker has now revealed that his struggles in front of goal have affected him off the pitch and has stated that the commercial aspect of the game is draining footballers of their values.
Chelsea looked to Morata to pick up from where Diego Costa left off but had to eventually sign Olivier Giroud in the summer transfer window to help their case.
Morata, however, has been showing signs of quality as of late. After scoring against MOL Vidi FC in the Europa League, he kicked on in the same vein and got on the scoresheet against Southampton just 4 days later.
His recent run earned him a call back to the Spanish national squad. Morata was earlier excluded from the Spain squad that went to the World Cup.
In a recent interview for El Mundo (via Football London), Morata got candid about his personal struggles during a difficult campaign in England.
Morata also said that high remuneration does not translate to happiness. He also spoke about how in the modern footballing world, sponsorship commitments and other distractions are leading to footballers losing their values.
Morata will hope to be in the starting XI as Chelsea take on Manchester United this Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
