Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has revealed that his move to the Blues from Everton has been justified by his massive improvement this season, as reported on Football London.
The Englishman has been in good form this season and has been a regular starter for Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri.
His impressive performances have also seen him return to the international stage with England, where he shone against Montenegro earlier this week by scoring twice and providing one assist.
There were question marks about Barkley’s move to Chelsea, but he feels it was the right thing to do for his career. He said:
I am away from my family and down in London by myself. I am in a totally different environment from Liverpool. I miss being with my family, it is totally different.
It is how I am maturing as a person and a player. It is good. Since I made the move it was good to challenge myself and win trophies and to improve as a player.
I’ve changed compared to when I was 18, 19 or 20. My diet is much better. My approach to games is much better and I am going into them with the right preparation and I am more relaxed, rather than think about things too much.
Barkley returned to Goodison Park for the first time since his transfer prior to the international break and was greeted by a hostile atmosphere as the Toffees secured a 2-0 victory.
