Chelsea defender Disasi eager to improve on first season

Chelsea centre half Axel Disasi hopes that he can improve on his game next season.

The defender has been a mainstay in the team under Mauricio Pochettino this season.

While Disasi has been exposed for pace on occasion, he has looked assured at the back next to various defensive partners.

“I feel I have improved since the start of the season," Disasi stated to club media.

“With my English, my physicality, my mentality also. When I came here, I was curious how I would adapt to the Premier League and I think I have done well.

“It takes time but that is the process, you know? The process is good and you have to keep pushing to improve again and again.

“I have enjoyed it a lot. It was something that I wanted, to play in England, so I'm very happy and very proud to play here. I think that my adaptation has been good, I have played a lot of matches, and I feel more comfortable game by game with my team-mates."
