Loftus-Cheek: “At Chelsea I didn’t play as much as I wanted, at Milan I became a child again”
Ruben Loftus-Cheek left England and Chelsea for Milan last summer and in an interview he gave, he made no secret of his absolute satisfaction with his decision to join the Rossoneri.
After 19 years at Chelsea (he joined the Blues’ academy in 2014 aged 8), Ruben Loftus-Cheek made the big decision to switch footballs last summer. The 27-year-old English midfielder signed a contract with Milan in 2027.
A decision that has so far completely satisfied him, as he indicated in an interview with “SportsWeek”:
“I didn’t play as much as I would have liked at Chelsea and I played in positions I didn’t like. And last season was very difficult for me. In Milan I have a free head and play as a midfielder. “I like”. emphasized the England midfielder, adding meaningfully:
“It’s like I’m going back to my childhood, where I played football without any worries. That’s the state of mind I want to be in when I step on the field.” On the pitch you want to have fun, enjoy the game and are also happy that you work hard.”
As for his goals with the Rossoneri in his first season in Italy? “I want to win the Scudetto, we believe we are the best, but these things will show in the end.”
