Remy warns Costa: I didn’t join Chelsea to sit on the bench

Loic Remy has warned new Chelsea team-mates
Diego Costa and Didier Drogba that he has no
intention of playing second fiddle at Stamford Bridge.
The France international, who moved to the west
London club from QPR at the end of August, came off
the bench in Thursday night’s clash between les
Bleus and Spain and bagged the winning goal in a
1-0 win.
The 27-year-old says he jumped at the chance to join
Chelsea, but will not be happy just to sit on the
bench and is determined to work hard and earn a
spot in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI.
“They are one of the best clubs in the world,” Remy
is quoted in the Mirror.
“I know I won’t start out as first-choice striker at
Chelsea, but nothing is set in stone. I have my aims.
“I didn’t sign for them in order to sit on the bench. I
will try to improve as much as I can alongside their
great players, and the rest will happen naturally.”
He added: “When the chance comes up to join a club
like Chelsea you can’t say no.
“The deal was done late in the evening. I was ­
prepared to stay at QPR, but I didn’t hesitate for a
second when Chelsea came along.”
Costa and Remy faced off at the Stade de France
earlier this week, with the former Marseille forward
making a decisive impact while his new team-mate
was subbed off, though the Brazilian-born forward
neglected to applaud the Frenchman’s exploits
afterwards.
“I didn’t get any congratulations from Diego Costa
after the Spain game,” added Remy.
“Their players were angry, and went straight back to
their dressing-room. I didn’t get a congratulatory text
from Jose Mourinho either!”
