Alvaro Morata: Chelsea teammates drove me 'crazy'

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has said his time at Chelsea was driving him "crazy", with his own teammates doubting his ability.

The Spain international, whose 18-month loan move to Atletico becomes permanent next summer, is enjoying a rich vein of form having scored in six consecutive games.

"I'm happier now," Morata said on COPE radio on Tuesday night. "It wasn't a good time in my football life, I'd stopped enjoying it. At times I didn't believe in myself."

The 27-year-old spent 18 months in the Premier League, in which he struggled for form and fitness, before joining Atletico in January this year.
