The next Chelsea players to tell us about their first visits to America ahead of our pre-season tour this summer are Marc Cucurella, who reveals previous tours he did with Barcelona, and Noni Madueke who made the trip when very young...
Marc Cucurella in the USA
'The first time was five years ago now, when I went with Barcelona in pre-season. We did a USA tour and I remember playing against Spurs, Roma and AC Milan.
'The only city I remember well was San Francisco and we didn’t have much time, but I also remember we were in Los Angeles because we went walking around Rodeo Drive, Hollywood Hills and stuff like that.
'I like America but I’ve never been on holiday because it is a long way to travel, but for sure I will go in the future, maybe to see Miami or LA. Or maybe New York because people say that in winter or at Christmas it is very nice. When I have time I will go there.'
Noni Madueke in the USA
'The first time I went out to the US I must have been like eight or nine. It was to Atlanta in Georgia, both my aunties live there. That was the first time, it’s more than 10 years ago now. I’ve been to America loads of times.
'My favourite place in America is probably New York, though. It’s just mad fun, you know!'
