Ruud Gullit

He was not very appreciated in England, but in Europe, the rest of Europe, we loved the way he played.

So when he came, and it was the right moment because it was a moment that I thought to myself, okay, maybe I have to go out of Italy.

I stayed for eight years in Italy, and I wanted to have something back of my old life, what I was used to.

So when he talked about London, I thought to myself, oh,

Might be a good reason to go closer to home and to London.

And I knew London a little bit.

I didn't know a lot about the area of Chelsea at the moment.

But...

The feeling that I have with Glenn was the right one.

And so therefore, I made the decision to go to Chelsea.

And I tell you, I didn't know much about Chelsea.

I tell you, it was just more about Glenn Hoddle than anything else.

Yes, I was playing sweeper.

And I remember I played a game that there was a long ball coming.

We're in England, so long ball.

And I just took the ball on my chest and the crowd went, wow.

Took it to the chest and tried to play.

But the player who was next to me was not used to play like that.

So half time said, Ruud, I know it's right to do, but not here, not here, please.

Play in midfield because you put my players in difficulty.
