| Juan Cuadrado admits he doesn't know why he didn't get a chance at Chelsea |
JUAN CUADRADO admits he's mystified as to why Jose Mourinho was reluctant to give him a chance at Chelsea.
The Colombia winger has returned to Italy, joining Juventus on a season-long loan, after just six months at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues paid around £24million for the 27-year-old in January.
He made just four Premier League starts, and eight substitute appearances, last term.
“The truth is, I don’t know (what went wrong)," he said. "I was always professional, and I always trained very well. I didn’t play as much as I wanted, but I was always ready.
“This is not a step back, it was a choice, the best one for me, and I hope to give my best, and give everything for this shirt.
“I thank God, my agent and Juventus for this opportunity. It’s a new challenge for me. I’ve always been training, even if I wasn’t playing, and I always train with playing in mind.
“I hope I get the opportunity to get on the pitch [against Roma] on Sunday, it would be a pleasure for me.”
But Cuadrado is sure he will fit in with Champions League finalists Juve.
He added: “I played in a 3-5-2 many times with Fiorentina. I’m always available for the coach, so I’ll work hard in training then he’ll decide where I play.”
