Kovacic Praises Chelsea Despite Premier League Success with Manchester City
Mateo Kovacic has quickly become a significant player for Manchester City since his summer move from Chelsea.
With six appearances in City’s eight games so far this season, the Croatian midfielder has seamlessly integrated into Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Kovacic, who arrived at the Etihad for £25 million, made an immediate impact, particularly with his performance against his former club, Chelsea, in City’s 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Reflecting on his time at Chelsea, Kovacic expressed deep appreciation for the club that he spent five years with, winning four European titles.
In a recent interview, he described his goal at Stamford Bridge as a “special moment,” acknowledging the fond memories he has of his time there.
Despite his respect for Chelsea, Kovacic has already highlighted that winning the Premier League with City in his debut season stands out as a career milestone, something he was unable to achieve at Chelsea.
As City aim for a fifth consecutive Premier League title, Kovacic’s growing influence could further validate his transfer as a masterstroke for Guardiola, and perhaps a missed opportunity for Chelsea.
His seamless adaptation to City’s style and his contribution to their success underline his importance to the squad.
