Chelsea’s captain John Terry maintains the idea that he wants to give everything for the club. Chelsea are now seven points clear of second seed Arsenal after a convincing 4-0 win at the Bridge against Tottenham.
The English defender, who retired from international duty in 2012, insists that times have changed and the future of the national team lies with teammate Gary Cahill.
“A lot, lot went on with myself and England and I loved playing for my country. I was very proud to do that and captain my country twice.”
“Unfortunately things have changed and moved on and I am concentrating on playing well and hopefully keeping us top of the league.”
The 33-years-old, who made his debut at Chelsea in 1998, believes he’s done enough with the national team and instead hopes the younger generation will make him and the nation proud.
“Gary Cahill seems to get better and better with every game. He is so comfortable on the ball. He is great in the air and reads it very well. He is quick. He is the man for England going forward. My days are gone and it is down to Gary and the young boys now to push on for our country,” he said.
CHELSEA BUILDING STRENGTH
With what seemed to be the hardest task of the week, Chelsea showed their strength as they continue to build up their game. Spurs players went down to ten men shortly after the second half, allowing the Blues to ease to victory.
Chelsea are now riding a 14-match Premier League unbeaten streak, and with 66 points from 29 matches, they currently sit ahead of their 2009-10 championship pace.
The Blues will travel to Aston Villa next weekend before hosting the Turkish club Galatasaray, hoping for a win to get through the quarter finals of the Champions League.
