Oriol Romeu is looking to appear as much as he can for Chelsea this season after joining from Barcelona in July.
The defensive midfielder was a key player in Spain's U20 World Cup campaign this summer and feels that the conditioning he received in Colombia has set him up for a tilt at the Premier League with the Blues.
"I played in a couple of really tough games during the World Cup against Korea and Brazil, they went into extra-time and this helped me to improve how I am physically and my condition," he told the club's official website.
"I'm in great physical shape right now and happy with the way things are. I am concentrating on this season, I want to do my best and make the most of the opportunity I've been given.
"Chelsea has given me this great opportunity and I want to play as many games as possible."
