Chelsea legend John Terry has claimed the Blues are still a few years away from competing for the biggest trophies in the sport. The former England international is a bonafide Blues legend, who captained the club to five Premier League titles and made 717 appearances for the west London club.
Terry came through the Blues’ youth ranks as a player, and now works in the academy set-up. In a recent discussion with The Mirror, he shared his frustration about the team falling behind England’s top clubs, saying:
Terry added:
The Blues have secured a return to the UEFA Champions League next season after two seasons out of Europe’s elite competition. Terry will hope his former side can build on that achievement and return to their best in the seasons to come.
New Chelsea signing Liam Delap has stated that he joined the Blues out of a desire to keep adding trophies to the club’s impressive collection. The English striker joined the club for a reported €35.5 million from relegated Ipswich Town after an impressive campaign with the Tractor boys.
Speaking about his motivations during his first interview after joining the club, the 22-year-old said (via FotMob):
The striker will take up the number nine jersey at Chelsea and has signed a contract until the summer of 2031.
Patrick’s favorite team is Manchester United for their unparallelled legacy and success in the game. He is a big admirer of Michael Carrick and his ‘smooth’ style of play back in the days. His favorite manager is Jose Mourinho, who according to him, brought a ‘swagger’ to football with his unique managerial style. Robin van Persie’s title-winning volley against Aston Villa for the 2013 PL triumph is etched in his memory forever.
Patrick always uses trusted outlets that produce accurate, balanced and fair information, and which present multiple point of views. He believes in reporting in a holistic manner for the readers’ benefit. If he could change a football rule, he would increase the number of substitutions allowed due to the high number of games played these days, to reduce injuries and so that youngsters get to show their talent as well.
When not covering football, Patrick loves reading, writing poems and short stories, and spend time with his dog Lana.
