Chelsea defender Disasi explains animated style

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has explained his animated style of play.

Disasi's style has been likened to former captain John Terry.

"When I make blocks or tackles I have to express my feelings," he told the club's website. "It gives energy to the team on the pitch and then when Levi did a block, he did the same thing.

"Things like this I'm very happy with because I know the guys feel what I did. It's very important and that was a crazy game. It was a game where it was good to defend in that way.

"Sometimes I like so-called traditional defending. It depends on the way the game goes and of course, when the game goes as it did against Manchester City, I'm a defender who first of all has to do the job."
