Deco arrived at Chelsea from Barcelona, for a fee of around £7million, on Monday night and instantly declared that he can help the Blues become the best team in the Premier League and in Europe.
The talented playmaker, who became new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's first signing, had recently been told by the Catalan club he did not feature in their future plans and had been consistently linked with a move to the west London club in recent months.
The 30-year-old has signed an initial two-year deal but it is understood that could be extended.
Deco, who won the Champions League and UEFA Cup with Porto, said: 'It is good for me to be here and first of all I am very happy to be here.

Eragon Movie Review,Pictures
Genre: Action/Adventure
Starring: Edward Speleers, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Djimon Hounsou, Robert Carlyle
Director: Stefen Fangmeier
Producer: Roger Barton, John Davis, Adam Goodman
Composer: Patrick Doyle
Synopsis
Based on the first novel in Christopher Paolini's popular INHERITANCE trilogy, ERAGON is a fantastical adventure in a vein similar to that of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. A classic story of a quest driven by destiny and set in a land where elves, magicians, and humans live side by side, the battle between good and evil, innocence and cynicism, is taken up once again. John Malkovitch camps it up as the evil King Galbatorix, a former guardian of peace who long ago went over to the dark side. He now rules over a land from which dragons have all but disappeared, until humble farm boy Eragon (newcomer Edward Speelers) happens upon a mysterious blue object that turns out to be a dragon egg. Eragon befriends the charming dragon cub, Saphira (voiced with aplomb by Rachel Weisz), and becomes her rider, designating him as the principal warrior in the fight against evil. Jeremy Irons steals the show as the wise and mysterious old man who becomes Eragon's mentor, guiding him through the tasks of saving a princess (Sienna Guillory) battling an evil sorcerer (Robert Carlyle, TRAINSPOTTING), and fending off hordes of the hideous Urgals. All of this will strike the seasoned fantasy viewer as familiar territory, but the formula is given life by veterans Malkovitch and Irons, as well as the young Speelers. The film was shot mostly in Hungary, whose breathtaking landscape combines to great effect with excellent cinematography. The special effects, created by LORD OF THE RINGS' Digital Magic and STAR WARS' Industrial Light and Magic, more than live up to the precedent set by those films, while the dragon is film's true star.
MEDIUM SHOT
Medium Shot or Mid-Shot (MS). In such a shot the subject or actor and its setting occupy roughly equal areas in the frame. In the case of the standing actor, the lower frame passes through the waist. There is space for hand gestures to be seen.
LONG SHOT
Shot which shows all or most of a fairly large subject (for example, a person) and usually much of the surroundings.
DEPTH OF FIELD EFFECT
It focus on the Saphira and the background are blur
CLOSE-UP
A picture which shows a fairly small part of the scene, such as a character's face, in great detail so that it fills the screen. It abstracts the subject from a context.
EXTREME LONG SHOT
Extreme Long Shot (ELS) - see establishing shot: In this type of shot the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject, emphasising the background
Producer: Roger Barton, John Davis, Adam Goodman
Composer: Patrick Doyle
