Radamel Falcao has spoken to the fans for the first time since making the switch from Monaco to the Premier League champions on a season-long-loan deal. The Colombian has been deadly in front of goal before against the Blues, noticeably when he netted four times for ex side Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup final.
In the interview, Falcao was speaking about how he’s had a busy summer, and how it was spent.
Yes, I had the Copa America, playing with my national team, and then a holiday. I went for 14 days to visit my family and friends in Colombia and had time to enjoy my people, and then straight here where I have quickly joined the pre-season.
Juan is a happy person with very good qualities and skills and he only needs time to grow in this club and be important, like he was when playing in Italy. He is a fantastic player and everybody supports him because all the players and coaches know about his quality. He is so quick over a few metres and I think this season will be a good one for him.
I talked with Juan before I came to Chelsea but I had decided I would like to join Chelsea some years ago. The media talked about me and Chelsea and it was not possible but this summer finally I come.

Ex-Chelsea player Ricardo Carvalho played a part in Falcao’s move to Chelsea, legend!
‘He spoke with me about the club and told me how big is Chelsea and that he had a very good time here. He enjoyed it a lot and he is grateful to the team. He is also a very good defender.’
Falcao’s first taste of Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea football could come in Washington DC today, as the Blues come up against Paris Saint-Germain.
