Sterling is not satisfied with training alone at 8pm! Maresca: My fisherman s father goes out to work at 2am

Sterling once said that if he no longer enjoys football, he would choose to retire. The striker has been neglected by Chelsea's head coach Maresca since returning from loan. Maresca told Sterling that there would be no playing time this season. He has been excluded from first-team training, and the four-time Premier League champion has been forced to train alone, along with teammate Di Sasi, who is also hidden by Chelsea.

This Wednesday, Sterling posted photos of Chelsea Cobham training base on social media, revealing the actual situation he is in. Sterling revealed that he is about to start training alone, noting that it is 8:21 p.m. Sterling's "selling miserable" behavior has attracted the attention of the English Professional Players' Union (PFA). The PFA has contacted Chelsea to hope to ensure that the club does not engage in "abuse" of players to force them to leave. FIFA's regulations mean that forcing players to train alone may constitute "abuse" which may allow players to terminate their contracts on "just reason". However, Sterling is unlikely to terminate the contract due to huge amounts of money, with his weekly salary of up to £325,000 at Chelsea.

Sterling publicly "sells miserable", and then PFA's intervention made Chelsea coach Maresca very dissatisfied. In a pre-match press conference with Manchester United, Maresca talked again about Sterling and Di Sasi's "exiled" to train alone. Obviously, he didn't have much sympathy for the two. Before the summer window closed, the club had been trying to sell the "ultrasound combination" of the pair, but neither of them had successfully left the team.

Maresca admitted that the two were in an awkward situation, but he used his 75-year-old father who has been a fisherman for 50 years to "given an example": "My father went out to sea at 2 a.m. every day and closed the net at 10 a.m. This is called hard work, not how the players work now."

He continued: "I also experienced this feeling when I was a player. I know how uncomfortable it is to not be able to play or practice together. But the club has provided them with formal training conditions, so I can only say this."

The Blues coach also strongly denied that Chelsea's approach is more extreme than other giants: "You like to speculate on this topic, but not only Chelsea, but clubs all over the world are the same - Italy, Spain, England, France, the United States, Brazil... As long as the players and the club do not reach an agreement, although the club will provide training guarantees, the lineup will be the lineup."

Chelsea will play away against Manchester United tonight, and Sterling and Diessi will be left directly in London. The team's physical recovery has also become a problem with Bayern in the middle of the week. Maresca revealed: "Palmer is fine. Others have to look at the training reaction today. They have not practiced together after Wednesday's game, so they have to evaluate it again."
