Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta: 'I've adapted to style of Premier League football'

By , Staff Reporter
Cesar Azpilicueta says that he is "comfortable" playing in the Premier League following his move to Chelsea last summer.

Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has admitted that he feels "comfortable" in the Premier League following his arrival at Stamford Bridge last summer.

The 24-year-old became a regular starter under interim manager Rafael Benitez, but has slumped behind teammate Branislav Ivanovic this season since the return of boss Jose Mourinho.

"I gave everything in training [when I arrived] and my match time increased as the season advanced," Azpilicueta told FIFA.com. "The transition took time but today I feel very comfortable playing in the Premier League."

The Spaniard joined the Blues from Ligue 1 after two years with Marseille.
