Back in the summer of 2014, Jose Mourinho brought both Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa to Stamford Bridge.
It was an inspirational move with both adding something to a team that, with them in the squad went on to win 2 Premier League titles and 1 League Cup.
Diego Costa, as we all, is no longer a part of the Chelsea squad. After a summer of discontent, the Brazilian born Spanish international got the return to Atletico Madrid he yearned for.
Following the departure of Diego, Cesc has had a few words to say about his friend, to the media, with Cesc remarking,
‘It’s a shame for him more than anyone.
Diego knew that signing for Atletico meant he could not play for a few months.
‘It has been a difficult situation for him, for Chelsea. He deserves to be on the field.
‘Diego is always a friend and never a rival.
‘In recent years there has not been a better pure No 9 than him.
‘I understood him myself perfectly. He knew my football, he read my passes and most importantly, he got on the end of them.
‘He gives a lot to the team. It is not only the Diego you see on the field. He is a character that greatly encourages the group.’
I`d imagine that the two will meet up whilst Chelsea are in Madrid for their Group ‘C` encounter this Wednesday, but it`s a case of the king is dead long live the king if you ask me, with Diego Costa gone and Alvaro Morata know the top-dog.
