Jose Bosingwa admits the Portuguese contingent at Chelsea has made it easy for him to settle at Stamford Bridge.

The former Porto fullback told Chelsea TV: "It is always easier to go to a club where you have people that you know so I was very pleased when I heard that Mr. Scolari would be the manager and Deco would be my team-mate.

"It was much, much easier to come here and know there were other Portuguese players who play here for about three or four years. They make it easier for you. They know where everything is, they know how things stand, they know the club."
