It was unique, Costa said to ESPN Brazil. “Leaving with happy memories while knowing that you performed your duty while you were here.
“Getting this love from the Chelsea supporters… I’ve always loved people. I have no issues with Chelsea supporters. They always treated me wonderfully when I was here.
The supporters weren’t to blame. Conte was the coach at the time. I got along great with the Chelsea supporters. I was the best! We achieved our second championship during that year. Conte didn’t depend on me as much, so I had to leave.
“The love I got today proves that I never fought with the supporters. However, I had to go. I wasn’t the problem.
“At that particular time, the coach was to blame. Today is evidence that the public has supported and loved me throughout my career.
