Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley believes that he has improved in various different ways since joining the club back in January.
As reported on the Independent, Barkley was the hero for the Blues as he netted a stoppage-time equaliser on the weekend against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The Englishman salvaged a draw for Chelsea and ensured that their unbeaten run this season continued.
Barkley had a tough time getting to full fitness and getting first-team action in the second half of last season, but he has been very impressive so far this term and has revealed why he has found form.
He said:
I believe that I am a better player now. I’ve matured, I understand the game much more, which can be natural as you grow up.
I’m 24 now and I understand the game. I am at a big club now with a lot of expectation and fantastic players around me, and my performances are showing it.
As the season goes on I’m playing against big teams. We have got a lot of competition in our squad and when you get your chance you have got to take it. I believe that I am doing the right things.
The attacking midfielder has also broken back into the England international setup and played in both of their recent UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
