It was my first time in Thailand and Australia and I liked both Bangkok and Sydney, he told Chelsea's official website.The only problem was the time difference – I didn't sleep a lot! We are a little bit tired but we enjoyed the trip.Now we need to put new batteries in, relax a little bit and rest. After one month, which I think is more than enough time to rest, we will be fresh and have big motivation to go again next season.Matic also says that he is always desperate to taste victory, regardless of the occasion, and claims that the squad have "had a great time on their mini tour.We are professional football players and we always like to win," he added. "It doesn't matter if it's a friendly game or a league game.It was nice to see 80,000 people in the stadium so we enjoyed it and we won, which is good for us.
