Chelsea's new Spanish striker Álvaro Morata has identified reasons to be cheerful after only a few weeks of Premier League football.
Having previously played in Spain and Italy for Real Madrid and Juventus, Morata already believes he has found a distinct problem with the English game that could work to his advantage.
Conceding that the new range of defenders he is facing 'are far stronger physically than in any other country', the Spanish international, quoted by the Sun, feels this comes at a price:
It is fair to say that they are in a mess with their tactics and they offer me the chance to score goals as they get confused.
The notion of a bumbling back four incapable of taking direction is unlikely to be as recurring a theme as Morata may imagine however - Chelsea go to West Brom on November 18th.
On the attractive nature of Premier League football for the viewer, Morata described the differences in some detail:
The game here is different to what I know. In Spain you have time to think and keep hold of the ball, but over here, by the time you've got possession you've already taken a couple of kicks from opponents.
Here you just have to shoot straight away, but this helps make the Premier League attractive to watch.
Something which perhaps indicates the disappointing form of English clubs in the Champions League over recent seasons, Morata seems to have gotten a pretty quick hold on how things operate.
With two goals from his opening four games for the club, you should probably expect Morata to fill the Diego Costa shaped hole in Chelsea's attack quite capably.
