Romeu happy with holding role in Chelsea midfield

Oriol Romeu says he enjoyed his performance for Chelsea in victory over Wolves.

Romeu feels at home in front of the back four.

He said: "Primarily, I see my role as providing a balance for the team. In that position, you get a feel for things, like when you have time to put your foot on the ball, look for a pass and elaborate.

"I think pressing your opponent is a habit and a good one. It's something we learn in the young age groups of the Spanish national team.

"If you lose the ball, press the opposition as far up the field as you can and win it back further forward. At Barcelona or with the Spanish national team, if you lose the ball, you press hard."
