Hernan Crespo: Why I chose to join Chelsea

Former Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo values his time in England.

During his time at the club, he won the Premier League in 2005-06 and also picked up the Community Shield.

Crespo is quoted by the Daily Mail, "I was very comfortable in Italy and it was my dream to play in Serie A, but when I had the chance to join the Premier League I said,'wow' and for Chelsea, 'wow'.

"I remember Luca Vialli and Ruud Gullit playing for them and I thought that Chelsea would be a great opportunity for me. When I joined Chelsea, my experience was unbelievable.

"The way English people understand football and live football is incredible. It's not completely different from Argentina, where the atmosphere in the stadiums is also amazing."
