“Diego Costa Is Better Than Aguero And Falcao” – Mourinho



Jose Mourinho has expressed his delight, with how new striker Diego Costa, has adapted to life in England, after arriving from Atletico Madrid.


The Blues forked out £32m for the Spain international, to bolster their striking department ahead of the new striker, but the former Real Madrid manager confesses it took Costa a while to get going.


“He was in Portugal and I never looked at him,” he admitted. “He went to Atletico and Sergio Aguero was the ­superstar, so Diego went on loan. Then, they brought in Radamel Falcao – and Diego went out on loan. He was behind very ­important players.

“When the chance came to go back, he showed he was better than the previous ones.
“But he is still the same honest, naïve, warm guy from a small village in Brazil that is, as we say, beyond the sunset.

“He ­interacts in the group and has conversations… even though he knows only 10 words of English.”

Chelsea open their 2014/2015 season away to Burnley on Monday.
