You called me Dave, I’LL always call you home, quoted by Cesar Azpilicueta as he says goodbye after 11 years at Chelsea
Cesar Azpilicueta joined Atletico Madrid on a one-year contract after saying a heartfelt goodbye to Chelsea F.C., where he stayed for 11 years; he quoted You called me Dave, I will always call you home.
Chelsea signed him from Marseille in 2012 as the wing-back and center-back. He started off quite well in the blue shirt, and right from there, he did not look back down. He won every single trophy which needed to be won in the club competition, which clearly shows his amazing spell at Chelsea FC.
Azpilicueta captains Chelsea to 5 major trophies, which is a great achievement by any player as a captain to lift every club title possible, FA Cup, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and FIFA Club World Cup, which is an amazing feat by him. He lifted the Premier League title twice and also appeared in 13 major cup finals.
Azpilicueta appeared in 508 matches and grabbed 9 trophies. He scored 17 goals and provided 56 assists, showcasing his ability to play as the wing-back and his amazing hitting ability.
The new owner of Chelsea Club, Todd Boehly, and co-owner, Behdad Eghbali, said that Cesar would be going to leave his presence at Chelsea Club forever as a champion, warrior, and Loyal Chelsea Legend. He is not 33 years old and might play just one more year, and because of that, he chooses Atletico Madrid because it is a spain sited team which is going to be close to Azpilicueta’s home as he is Spanish and he took this decision due to his family.
There was an offer from Inter Milan before the Madrid offer, but when he got an offer from Atletico Madrid, he decided to go back to his nation to live there because his family will be going to feel better there.
