Andre Schurrle has claimed his poor fitness on Chelsea’s training methods, saying the Stamford Bridge outfit concentrate too much on tactics.
The German international called time on his Chelsea career in January, signing for Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in a £27m deal, but he has since struggled to make an impact, due to his fitness.
And, he has hit out at his former club for their ‘tactical’ approach to training sessions.
“At top English clubs during the season, the players are hardly loaded with any training, since it’s almost all about regeneration and tactics,” the London Evening Standard quotes Schurrle as saying.
“In England you can get your fitness through the season with the games. I’m still missing the last per cent. In January, I almost had no training between the change of clubs because of back problems.”
