Inter Milan winger Ricardo Quaresma says his loan move to Chelsea has reinvigorated him.

"When I was at Inter I wasn't feeling very confident, I wasn't playing well and wasn't happy. I already feel more confident here at Chelsea, it has brought the joy back for me, which I didn't have at Inter," Quaresma told Chelsea TV.

"I lost my will and motivation, and that is important for a footballer, to be happy, which I am now because I got my confidence back," Quaresma continued. "That's what makes me feel more confident and want to improve more and I don't have any fear, everything thrown at me I am fine with it."

That said, it must have been a strange situation to find himself in when the man who signed him, Luiz Felipe Scolari, was no longer there a week later.

"Of course it was difficult, because things were not going well for me at Inter so I came over here and then faced this change," he shrugs.

"In any case it is very difficult in this situation in a club, but for me it was a little more because I didn't know what was going to happen. I am very grateful that Mr. Scolari brought me here and gave me the opportunity to come to Chelsea. The club is still helping me now and I am still here. I am always going to be very grateful to Mr. Scolari for giving me the opportunity, but these things happen," he admits.

"All the players have to do is respect the manager, whoever comes or goes, and keep doing our jobs."
