“I’ve watched Chelsea since I was a kid: Demba Ba, Drogba, Nicolas Anelka… wow! So I always dreamed of playing for a team like this.” “When I was told I had to accept or decline the offer from Chelsea, the answer came straight from my heart. It was one million per cent yes.” “I love and respect King Didier, of course. But I want to go on and be more than him. If I get as far as those three, that’s a great start. But I want to be higher than them, you know.” “And now let me tell you about Mauricio Pochettino. He’s a great coach, even better guy. I have followed him for many years now. You can see with just his aura, he is one of the best in the world and I am so happy to work with him.” “You just know he is the man, the one in charge. Let me repeat. I am so, so happy right now. Pochettino is amazing. The running is fine, some players would say it’s not, but for me, no problem.”
