Now he’s gone, Diego Costa has taken to his Facebook account and written to Chelsea supporters ahead of tonight’s meeting between the Blues and Atletico Madrid.The heartfelt message stopped short of thanking Antonio Conte or any of his coaching staff though.
‘Some cycles begin while others end. My cycle at Chelsea began three years ago – three remarkable years in all aspects – and I will never forget it. Two championship titles, a Community Shield, 120 matches, 59 goals and 24 assists later this cycle has ended. Not the way I would have wanted – far from it – but the best way possible. The wonderful fans of such equally admirable club and all team mates, as well as all clinical, administrative and logistics staff will remain forever in my mind and in my heart. Will bring them with me with the certainty that I will always be by their side as well, and I`m sure they will understand the reason why this cycle of mine has now ended – because I could not lose faith in myself. Thank you Chelsea for everything!’
Chelsea face his new team tonight in the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, there will be mixed emotions as he doubtless meets up with some of his former teammates. Conte, himself has said he doesn`t have a problem with Costa,
‘As I have said, I have no problem with Diego Costa and we wish him the best for the future. We want to thank him for last season. I have no problem with him.’
The End!!
