Former French international anchoring midfielder Claude Makelele has spoken oh his reason for joining French side Paris Saint Germain this summer for the first time.
Mekelele joined PSG from [{Chelsea]] this summer on a free transfer after his five-year contract at the London Blues came to an end. He joined the London side from Real Madrid in the summer of 2003 and was arguably the driving force in Chelsea winning two back to back Premier League crowns.
Now of course the proverbial unsung hero has explained why he decided to move back to his home nation He told Le Parisien:
“I would have been more comfortable staying at Chelsea.
“There, you are forced to be at your best and concentrate all the time and that’s how I like to be. I have always worked like that.
“Your level drops when you are in a situation where you can take it easy. Football is not easy. People think that it is easy when you are at a big club and you have made it. But it is not.
“You have to constantly prove yourself every day.
“The main difference between Chelsea and PSG is on the pitch.
“I have my family and friends here. I had to come back because it is the right time as I am still fresh.
“I signed for a year with the option of another one.”
