Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile admits he's enjoying English football's atmosphere.

The Frenchman is now in his second season with the Blues.

He told the club's website: "The atmosphere at games here is really nice. The fans are really behind us and we feel it when we play at Stamford Bridge, and even when we play away. It makes you want to give everything for them.

"It's not the same as in France. Here, when you do a good tackle, all the crowd are like, 'Aahhhh!'

"I was shocked the first time I heard this, for me it was something crazy! Just one tackle and all the crowd is up! It was really nice, though."

A highlight was the Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Newcastle.

"The fans were really great that night," Badiashile added. "When Petro saved the last penalty… woah… that was something crazy. Even when Misha scored the goal, it was great.

"After they scored the first goal, I knew we would equalise because we were so hungry to score and we are so confident in our quality."
