Ricardo Quaresma says his loan spell at Chelsea has ‘brought the joy back’ after his Inter nightmare.
The 25-year-old Portugal star left Porto to make a big-money move to Inter last summer, but he failed to make an impact and was publicly criticised by boss Jose Mourinho.
Luiz Felipe Scolari then brought him to Stamford Bridge on loan in January and, although he was sad to see the Brazilian leave, Quaresma is now thoroughly enjoying life under Guus Hiddink.
“When I was at Inter, I wasn’t feeling very confident, I wasn’t playing well and I wasn’t happy,” he told the official Chelsea website.
“I already feel more confident here at Chelsea. It has brought the joy back for me, which I didn’t have at Inter.
“I lost my will and motivation, and that is important for a footballer, to be happy, which I am now because I got my confidence back.”
He added: “Every championship in the world has its own mentality and way of playing.
“Everybody likes to play in the English league. I think this is because it’s a very competitive league – players come here and learn a lot.
“They get stronger, physically and psychologically – they have to in order to play here, and you have to keep this level high.
“Everybody wants to play here. It helps you improve and become stronger.”
