Cesar Azpilicueta has been singing the praises of
his new team-mate. Early(I must say is it) signs have certainly been
encouraging from Chelsea striker Diego Costa since his £32 million
move from Los Colchoneros this summer. The Spanish international has scored seven goals in four Premier League games and will be hoping to down
the reigning champions Manchester City this afternoon.
Diego however does have an Achilles heel; he is yet to
master the English language.
He has already been seen using former Athletico team-mate
Thibaut Courtois as an interpreter on Chelsea TV but has a lot of have several
Spanish and Portuguese speakers he can relate within the Chelsea dressing room.
Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is one of those who
can help Costa settle into life at SW6.
But he says on the pitch his communication problems are
not a problem, as he focuses on a different language - the language of goals.
He told Chelsea's official website:
"Diego has settled in very quickly to the team and
even though he doesn’t speak English, he always tries to understand the people,
tries to communicate and I think on the pitch the language for him is the
goals, and he is scoring goals. We speak the same language and I try to help
him, and all the new players who come in, and if we help each other it is
easier for everyone."
Azpilicueta has also spoke about helping to settle Loic
Remy at the club. The two were former team-mates at French side Marseille and
he is pleased to be playing with the French international striker once again:
"It is true that now I am happy to have him back
because he is a very good player and hopefully he is very useful for the team.
"In Marseille Loic played at the sides or up front
and he can play in different positions in attack. He is always a goal scorer,
he has very good finishing and his movements are very clever, and he is quick
as well. He is very clever inside and outside the box, I think he is a very
good player for the team."
