MORATA: I’M HAPPY TO BE BLUE

London and buying a house for his young family. Morata (being criticised by a fan at the Community Shield, above) said: “Yes, when the ball goes into the net everything changes. My mind is not blocked anymore and I hope now I can score lots of goals.

“It’s not been a good period for me over the last year. I missed a penalty in a friendly game and it seemed like it was the Champions League Final.

“But I always feel the support and love of Chelsea supporters and it’s very important for me to keep working and fighting. I could have gone back to Spain or Italy, all the people believe in me there, but I want to change all the things here. I want to, not for all the haters, but for me and for Chelsea.

“Chelsea gave me everything in one moment that I needed and now I can’t wait to win trophies again.

“I am looking forward to buying a house and I can’t wait for the babies to grow up to put them into school. I am very happy.”

Morata (scoring against Arsenal, below) also says new boss Maurizio Sarri’s style suits his game better than ex-manager Antonio Conte.

He added: “The most important thing is the way we play. Last year it was direct balls and for me to protect the ball in the air is not my best quality. Now I can attack the space, play one touch and go in the area for the crosses. It’s better for me and we play better.”
