Branislav Ivanovic is surprised by how quickly Chelsea's new signings have settled.
Diego Costa, Thibaut Courtois and Cesc Fabregas have all played their role in Chelsea's superb season so far.
"It is really amazing how quickly the new players have adapted," he told Chelsea magazine. "You could see straight from the first day how they work, how well they do their jobs, and that it is normal for them to play this way. That is why they are here and we are all very happy about that.
"As this group stays together for a long time, we will get better and better - we know each other's games, we know the movement of each other and this gives us the opportunity to play more easily in games.
"Sometimes we work on special things in preparation for a game, and this is one thing, but it is another to understand your team-mates, to know how they work and what they like on the pitch.
"The moment you start to see what they usually do in training, you know they will usually do this in the game. You have to feel that."
