Deco Frowns On Robinho's City Move

Football 365 quoted the Portuguese playmaker as saying, "To leave Madrid to go to Chelsea is okay, but I have my doubts with respect to City.

"I don't know, we will have to ask Robinho what happened. It's not normal either to change Real for City only for the money. Robinho has the standing to play in a team who aspire to titles."

Clearly, then, Deco feels that he made the right move himself to title-chasing Chelsea.

"I've started off on the right foot, I've great team-mates at Chelsea. We've only drawn against Juande Ramos' Tottenham, who made life difficult for us," he said.

"How is it different from the Primera here? It basically differs that in the Premier League there are no small opponents, everyone fights to the death.

"When we play at home we still have a bit of space, but away you are under constant pressure from your opponent. In every area of play there is a battle. It's fun."

In closing Deco stated once again that he was enjoying his time in London and as such he didn't rue passing up the chance to join José Mourinho at Inter.

"Chelsea's offer was more interesting in all aspects than that of Internazionale, I liked more the plans of Felipe Scolari and I cannot complain, to play next to Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Joe Cole, Drogba, Terry and Co is a pleasure," he said.

"We are going to make life difficult for Inter and for everyone, we aspire to win the Champions League that the club were so close to last year, losing on penalties."
