Ivanovic out to emulate Vidic
New Chelsea signing Branislav Ivanovic is hoping he can repeat the impact made
on the Premier League by his Serbian compatriot Nemanja Vidic.
The 23-year-old signed for the Blues last week from Lokomotiv Moscow in a deal
worth just under £10million.
He told Serbian TV B92: "My first impressions are fascinating.
"I haven't seen much but everything until now is just phenomenal."
Vidic has made a huge impression at Manchester United since he moved from
Russian football, and Ivanovic is hoping to take something from his experiences.
"I haven't spoken to Nemanja Vidic in recent days, but he managed to explain to
me several things from before," he said.
"He warned me that I am facing a very difficult start, but as time goes by, it
should become more easy.
"I have a period of adaptation in front of me that I must pass as quick as
possible."
Ivanovic's first hurdle is to get up to match fitness as the Russian season finished
in November.
He said: "I haven't trained with a team for a month, but I have worked regularly
by myself. That's why I am not in full shape, so I would need to wait some time."
