Chelsea midfielder Ramires is desperate to win his first Premier League title this season, and has revealed that the camp are feeling confident about doing-so.
The Blues saw off Manchester United 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday thanks to a Samuel Eto’o hat-trick, and that win kept them in third place, one point behind Manchester City and two points behind Arsenal.
Since joining in 2010, Ramires has been a part of some trophy success for The Blues, but he is yet to win the Premier League, and that is something he is hopeful he can achieve this season.
“I love to be on the pitch in big games like the one against Manchester United,” the 26-year-old told Globo Esporte.
“The derbies make you feel butterflies in your stomach, make you more motivated to win and I am happy that we have managed to play well.
“We are now even more confident after that game that we can reach our goal of winning the Premier League, that would be even more special to me as I have never won that title.”
He added: “Thank God my career has been improving since I joined Chelsea, many good things have been happening and I have got recognition for my work, which makes me very happy.
“I find the fact that I achieved that milestone as a consequence of the joy I have of playing football and of wearing Chelsea’s shirt.”
