wasting-time-at-Blues-as-he-prepares-to-fire-Swansea-into-Premier-League-

Borini said: “I don't need to remind Chelsea what I can do because they
already know - I've been top scorer for the reserves - and sometimes you
need to be honest with yourself.
“I need to go away from Chelsea to play regular football, even if it's
with a smaller team in a smaller league. Most of the young players at
Chelsea have had to do the same thing.
“Scott Sinclair, who plays at Swansea now, Jack Cork, Jeffrey Bruma,
Patrick van Aanholt and Michael Mancienne all went through the same thing.
I would not say we share the same frustration, but we all need the same
honesty.
“Although I am still young, I have been at Chelsea for four years now and
I feel I have wasted the last six months of my career. When you are young,
you are not patient about anything, so every game I play now is like an
explosion.
“All I am concentrating on is the Wembley final - after that, we will see
what the future holds for me. If we win, I would be happy to play for
Swansea in the Premier League if they want me to come back, and if we lose
there is the same chance that I might go elsewhere.
“It's like a Champions League final for us - except some of the boys have
been telling me this game is worth more than the Champions League final
because it's the richest club match in the world.
“I feel quite at home in Swansea - it is not like life in London, but it
is a good life which allows me to concentrate on my football. And Brendan
Rodgers [once Borini's reserve-team boss at Chelsea] is a good manager and
a great person who knows me very well. He is like an uncle because he
helped me a lot when I was at Chelsea.
“It is not just at Chelsea where young players find their opportunities
are limited - Manchester United, Inter Milan and even Barcelona don't have
that many young players in their first-team squads. Many of them have to
go out on loan to play regular football.
“It is still a privilege to train and work every day with world-class
players, and the winning mentality you learn at a club like Chelsea will
last your whole career.”
Borini made only four appearances for Chelsea, but his impact at the
Liberty - where he snaffled two goals on his debut against Nottingham
Forest in March - made him an instant hit with the 40,000 Swans fans
who'll be heading for Wembley on Monday.
