One of Chelsea’s new signings from the summer has described the Premier League is like a completely different sport to what he has been used to playing in.
Many footballers will discuss the vast differences in the Premier League to many other different leagues around the world, largely because of the difference in pace and physicality, and that has become very clear for all of us to see.

Some new players come to the league and they will struggle with the differences and adapting to the league. Some will come here and never make it for that reason. Others will thrive.
Djordje Petrovic arrived at Chelsea from the MLS in America this summer, and he is needing to find his feet very fast in the league due to having to come in and replace the injured Robert Sanchez in goal for The Blues.
Petrovic has been speaking about the differences, but says it’s a dream for him to be playing here, in words picked up by The Evening Standard.
He said: “It’s like a completely different sport [in the Premier League]. It is a lot faster and you don’t have time to think when you have the ball at your feet.
“It is different, but I enjoy it here because that is a dream for us… everyone wants to play here and you can improve by playing here.”
