It is a great club and a big club so I am very excited to get started. I have played against Chelsea a lot of times and have always lost so I know the team have good players. And I have known Sonia since I was 14 years old, so it is great to work with her again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My objective is to become better every single day and to win trophies. I know Chelsea always have that as an objective and I have that ambition too. I am also really looking forward to playing at Stamford Bridge on a regular basis. The atmosphere is incredible and the pitch is close to the fans, so you really feel their energy.
