According to him, he likes to hold the ball at his feet and not in his own half but the last 30 metres.
The Belgian International believes that the style of his new coach gives room for more possession and the addition of Kovacic and Jorginho into the squad is also an added advantage.
He told Chelsea Tv: “I like to have the ball,”
“Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres.
“I like this type of game, it’s completely different from Antonio Conte or [Jose] Mourinho before. Like I say, we have more of the ball so for me, it’s not bad.”
“I think the big difference is we bring in two players, Jorginho and Kovacic, and they are completely different,”
“Of course, they want to keep the ball, we just try to keep the ball more often, and then when we have the chance to score we just need to score. But when we have more of the ball we can have more danger.
“At the moment we are okay, we are winning games, I think we are playing good football, so I’m enjoying it. I want to keep this momentum. The bad thing is now we go to the national team, we want to just keep playing with Chelsea and win games!”
