Juan Cuadrado has admitted that he was surprised by his struggles at Chelsea after making a loan switch to Juventus earlier this week.

Much was expected of the Colombian winger when was signed from Fiorentina in the January transfer window, but he was unable to secure a regular starting spot in Jose Mourinho's side and was sent back to Serie A for the season following Pedro's arrival at Stamford Bridge.

"What went wrong? The truth is, I don't know," the 27-year-old told reporters. "I was always professional and I always trained very well. I didn't play as much as I wanted, but I was always ready.

"Moving to Juventus was the best choice for me and I hope to give my best, and give everything for this shirt. It's a new challenge for me. I've always been training, even if I wasn't playing, and I always train with playing in mind."

Cuadrado could make his Juventus debut against Roma on Sunday.
