Chelsea's Striker, Morata Regrets Leaving Juventus, Hopes for Return


Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata admits he has not lived in Italy and believes he should never have left Juventus to return to Real Madrid, according to Goal.com.

The Spanish international has spent two seasons in Turin, winning two doubles and reaching the final of the 2015 Champions League, before Madrid activates an option to buy his contract, estimated at 30 million euros, in 2016.

However, Morata had trouble getting to the Santiago Bernabéu, and agreed to join Chelsea for a $ 60 million contract with the club's record in the transfer window to win regular football.

The 25-year-old had a good start in England, scoring six times in nine Premier League games, but confirmed he wanted to return to Italy.

Morata also criticized Madrid's attitude towards him after his return and felt that he was practically forced to resume his career.
Speaking before moving the Champions League to Chelsea on Tuesday, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "There were contractual agreements to respect." The disappointment was enormous: I went back to the beginning.

"They treated me like the girl I was before the two seasons in Italy.

"I came (in Italy) to feel like a child and I returned as a real player, I should never have left Italy and Juve.

"I miss Italy very much, my wife would like to live in Spain, I would like to live in Italy".

Morata also believes that the Serie A is the toughest league in which he has competed due to the tactical and defensive strength of the teams.

"In Spain, technique is dominant, in Italy it is tactical, in England, the most important aspect is physical strength," he said. "The most difficult thing is Italy: organized teams and very good defenders".

Morata admitted that in the past he joined Chelsea to work with Antonio Conte, who left the coach of Juve shortly after his arrival in 2014.

The striker feels that he has adapted well to life in Stamford Bridge with the Italian and with the Spanish contingent of Chelsea players.

When asked why he chose England, he replied: "As he was an excellent coach like Antonio Conte, we started talking about a possible signing in the last preseason and finally I arrived in London.

"I met Conte and I had no problem understanding his idea of ​​football, I was very well received by my teammates, we have a Spanish group with Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, and they made more ... easy" .
