Monaco midfielder Zakaria: Juventus and Chelsea left me frustrated

AS Monaco midfielder Denis Zakaria admits his time with Chelsea and Juventus left him frustrated.

Zakaria struggled at Juve and Chelsea, where he spent last season on-loan from the Bianconeri.

"I didn't find it easy, but it was also the period in which I learned the most in my career," he told RMC. "After living through a similar period you realise that you can't take anything for granted and the only thing you can do is work to stay where you are.

"Now I'm giving everything I have to put that moment behind me because it's very complicated for a player.

"When you have few options, even being physically ready is not easy. Furthermore, on a mental level you would like to play and you can't. It was also frustrating because the team wasn't doing well."
