.... Chelsea-bound Atletico Madrid left back Filipe Luis has claimed that
he has 'always liked Chelsea a lot' in a press conference announcing his
departure from the Spanish champions.
'I never thought about leaving Atletico,' he said. 'But I took the
decision because of the offer which came from Chelsea.
'A change of team gives new hunger and ambition, and I was worried about
being too comfortable here. A footballer's career is very short and I want
to finish it in a strong and spectacular way.
'I have always liked Chelsea a lot. I watch a lot of the Premier League
and it is a club where you can feel the warmth of the fans,' said Luis,
who has been capped four times by Brazil.
'When we played there in the Champions League I felt comfortable in their
stadium and when the offer came I thought it was the ideal team for me to
play for in England.'

.... And Luis is looking forward to living out his Premier League dream.
“I can say that it has been the most difficult decision I've ever made in
my life,” Luis told reporters.
“When the first offer from Chelsea came, the first thing I did was talk
to [director of football Jose Luis] Caminero and the club and explain my
reasons.
“The truth is that as a child I always dreamed of playing in the Premier
League, and decided to communicate it to the club so they could see that
that was my goal, a change of scenery. I think that my time here was up at
this stage.”
Luis added: “The reason for my leaving is neither economical nor because
I'm at odds with Atletico de Madrid.
“On the contrary, I'm still an Atletico [man] and will be for the rest of
my life. I feel very identified with this club and at 28, I very much
wanted to try a different league.”
