Bronze: “Playing away in England was an amazing experience and I wouldn’t change it”

Lucy Bronze He returned to English football at the age of 32, On the side of the current European champions for the last two seasons, FC Barcelona, He signed a contract until 2026 with Chelseaa club that wants to fight for maximum success and that On his official website he dedicated this Wednesday a welcome interview to his new star. Among Bronze’s reflections there is an implicit allusion to his success at Barça and also to his past at Olympique Lyon. “Being English and playing abroad were amazing experiences and I wouldn’t change it for anything,” said Bronze.

However, he immediately launched a challenge, also implicit, to his team, where he arrived in 2022 and won two of the five Champions Leagues that appear on his personal resume. “I’ve never won it at an English club and I want to achieve it,” he wished.

“I know that people always say that I have won many trophies and that I have won the Champions League many times, but I have never won the Champions League with an English team in my career and I want to achieve that,” he told ‘blue’ the club’s website.

Three of his Champions League titles he got them by being a part of Olympique Lyonnais during the 2017-20 three-year period and the remaining two have already been linked to Barça. His brilliant career earned him FIFA’s The Best 2020 and the UEFA award for the Best Player in Europe of 2019 as the highest individual distinction.

Anyone who thought he came to Chelsea to achieve a golden retirement may change his mind when he sees how he has taken on his new professional challenge. “I love football. This is what I will do whether I become a professional or not. And anyone who knows me will say that I am the most competitive person. ‘I want to play football at the highest level possible and win trophies as much as possible, I’ve been motivated to do it ever since and I think I’ll be the same,” he stressed. So he indicated that he doesn’t see his retirement anytime soon. “I’m sure that, sooner or later, someone will take me off the field instead of me saying ‘no, I don’t want to play,'” he warned.

Bronze slips that his decisions are always more visceral than mature. “I never had anything planned in the long term,” said the former culé when asked if the goal was to return to England. “I always let myself be carried away by my instinct, whether when I moved to France, when I went to Barcelona or when I returned to England. And that was the case this time. I trusted my instincts,” he concluded.
