From Chelsea bomb squad to new chapter at Como for Chalobah
After ending his near 20-year association with Chelsea by joining Como 1907 this summer, Trevoh Chalobah credits his time at Stamford Bridge with building his resilience.
Trevoh Chalobah has left Chelsea after nearly 20 years, joining Como 1907 in Italy. Despite facing numerous setbacks, the 27-year-old defender credits his resilience for his success at Chelsea. He began his career at Chelsea's academy, but cried in the car as a child because he felt inadequate. Later, he was left out of first-team training due to being part of the so-called 'bomb squad' under former manager Enzo Maresca.
Chalobah bounced back, making 151 appearances for Chelsea before moving to Como under manager Cesc Fabregas. He credits Fabregas' leadership and understanding of his strengths as the reason for his new opportunity. Chalobah acknowledges the club's rise from Serie B to the Champions League in two seasons while expressing gratitude for the experience at Chelsea and excitement for his new chapter in Como.
