“Salah's life in training, at Chelsea was like Messi”

Flamengo defender Philippe Lewis has returned to talk about his adventure at Chelsea. In an interview for “The Guardian”, the Brazilian recalls what it was like to face training with Mohammed Salah and to the highest value the star of Liverpool. He also speaks of his departure from the blues of London, which explains that he cannot say no Diego Simeones.

I've suffered a lot in training with Momon. When he moved to Fiorentina I told him why you're doing something like that, you're part of Chelsea. He answered that he wanted to play, and that's where I realized that the boy didn't play for money or go somewhere else to earn more. Salalah sought to show his skills and was in training just like Mess. You can ask anyone”, says 35-year-old.

My away from Chelsea? I already exchanged messages with Simeon as a friend, but then whenever I received a message from him, it was somewhat stressful. I was asked to return to Madrid in the January mercato, but I told him not because we were winning the Chelsea Championship. We kept talking. Juventus and SPG made me very good offers, but I only wanted access to Atletico”, means Philippe Lewis.
