Champions League
I had a special bond with Liverpool supporters but it was an easy choice to leave

Summarised by MatchPal
Jones defends his move to Inter and praises Serie A's quality, saying the league's reputation for being slower stems from tactical approaches rather than inferior talent.
Curtis Jones has explained his decision to leave Liverpool for Internazionale in the summer, describing it as an 'easy choice' despite his deep connection with the Reds' supporters. The 25-year-old midfielder joined Inter in a £25m deal in August after eight years at his boyhood club, where he made 228 appearances and won multiple trophies including two Premier League titles.
Jones cited Inter's passionate fanbase as a key factor in his decision, drawing parallels to Liverpool's supporter culture after witnessing the club-fan connection during a Champions League visit to the San Siro. He is currently sidelined with an adductor injury but has already made five appearances for the Italian champions.
Defending Serie A's reputation, Jones disputed claims that the league is significantly weaker than the Premier League, arguing that perceived differences in pace stem from tactical approaches rather than quality gaps. He expressed confidence in Inter's Champions League prospects and highlighted the team's strong spirit and individual quality, while also defending his own playing style and contributions beyond statistics.
