Lille winger Salomon Kalou believes he could have fulfilled his potential at Chelsea had Jose Mourinho stayed on as coach at Stamford Bridge.
Wise
He added: "I could play despite pain and I wanted to help. But I was finally wise and rest was a good idea.
"I knew the expectations before I signed at Lille. I would have loved to start the season a better way.
"At Chelsea I played one match in three, so I needed a big preparation to try and play the whole season here.
"I have needed time for my body to get used to it. Maybe I paid for it, but now I am reassured for the rest of the campaign."
