Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao has revealed his frustration
at a lack of playing time and believes his lack of game time
is to blame for his poor form, not injuries.
The Colombia international moved to Stamford Bridge on
loan in the summer after spending a season with
Manchester United and scoring just four times.
However, Falcao has suffered similar disappointment with
the Blues, managing just one goal in 11 appearances for the
champions but has bemoaned his lack of playing time.
"I have recovered from my knee injury," he told Semana . "The
problem is since then I have not had the chance to play a
whole season to get back my confidence and become
competitive again.
"If I had had that regular football, you would not be saying
this right now.
"I try not to destabilise myself. People talk a lot, but they
also say some positive things and I try to welcome those
messages because they encourage me and it what I am
looking for."
Falcao also insisted his current injury is not connected with
his knee and should not keep him sidelined for too long,
despite Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink recently claiming the
problem was "very serious".
"Everyone is free to express their opinions but I think that
journalists should do it with more responsibility. They lack
accuracy," he said.
"Today they do not go to the source to confirm the news and
say things that are not true. The only thing they haven't said
yet is that Falcao is going to play in a team outside the
Earth."
