Left-back reveals duo still love former club
Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis has revealed the reasons why it may not have worked out for him at Chelsea.
Luis rejoined the Spanish side over the summer after a tough spell in west London under Jose Mourinho.
And the defender states the love he has for Atletico as a big influence in his decision to return.
He also hinted that former Chelsea colleagues may also be seeking a move back as well.
Luis Exit
Luis told Dario AS: “I’m very happy. I was delighted when I found out that Atletico wanted to take me back.
“It’s the best thing that could have happened to me.
“We [Diego Costa and Thibault Courtois] have never lost the affection that we had for Atletico Madrid. We would meet up to see their games.
“I remember when they played the Super Cup [last year] and Diego and myself were in the team hotel and we went down to the reception of the hotel to see the game on the computer.
“I always missed the club. I was never able to move on.
“Perhaps I should have forgotten about them but I kept on watching the games and talking to former team-mates or sending them messages. I never cut the roots I have in this club.”
