Cristian Tello says he 'couldn't play regularly' with Porto and is glad he moved to Fiorentina: 'Coach Paulo Sousa surprised me'.

The Spaniard was loaned to the Portuguese team from Barcelona, but his stint was not as successful as he would have wished.

Having been loaned again to Fiorentina with a buy-back option at €8m, he seems to have found a better environment.

“I'm feeling very good here, Borja Valero in particular was helpful right from the start,” he said, as reported by Calciomercato.it.

“I'm feeling very good here, Borja Valero in particular was helpful right from the start,” he said, as reported by Calciomercato.it.

“I wanted to play, and in Porto I couldn't do that regularly. Fiorentina showed a lot of interest in me.

“I want to feel good in this team. We'll see about the future.

“Sousa was very surprising. He's going to be a great Coach. He puts a lot of emphasis on attacking moves.

“In the Europa League we weren't very lucky, we came across Tottenham, who compete for first place in the Premier League.

“I do miss Barcelona, just like I miss the Masia [a type of building] and some of my friends, but here at Fiorentina I'm playing and that's what matters.

“I hope the Blaugrana can win the Clasico, regardless of who scores the goal.”
