Breaking News- EPL Round up - Chelsea
Chelsea skipper John Terry has expressed his support towards teams which do “whatever it takes” to win a match and don’t let the opposition run them over.
Recently, a debate has surfaced in the Premier League over the physicality of teams and many top teams, including Arsenal, oppose the physical nature of football in England. The Barclays Premier League is known for its fast pace and entertaining
football however they also record the most number of injuries every year as compared to others. This is a negative view that has been formed from the English league while if other leagues are compared to this then the Spanish league has recorded a total of
4 deaths on the pitch and it’s the Italian league that hosts the most number of leg breaks and fractures each season.
Owing to this, former English Captain John Terry has played down talks of English club, like Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke to be blamed of being too physical. Terry claimed that each club has a right to give a fight to their opposition and
should do whatever it takes, within the prescribed rules, to stop the opponents attack. Chelsea face Blackburn this week, who has come under heavy criticism lately over their ruthless tackling and overall physical approach. Terry, who is also known for his
harsh tackles, has supported Blackburn and claimed that such comments are unfair to clubs who are a bit harsh in their defending.
"What has been said about teams like Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke is very unfair. We can't expect to go to Ewood Park and pick up three points just because we're Chelsea Football Club. First and foremost we've got to go there and have a
fight with them. We have to be prepared for a scrap,” claimed the Chelsea Captain.
Chelsea is in excellent form this season, having scored 28 goals season while conceding just 4. The side sit on the summit of both the Premier League and their group of the UEFA Champions League and are looking to retain the Premier League
crown. Florent Malouda, Nickolas Anelka and Didier Drogba share more than 18 goals between each other this season and have displayed some of the best attacking football of this season. John Terry heads into his 310 premier league appearance for his boy hood
club and is one of the best centre backs in the World. The club captain is looking for its 4th premier league medal this season but would want nothing more to get his hands on the coveted Champions League trophy. It was his penalty
shootout slip that decided the match in favour of Manchester United in 2008 and would want nothing more but to get over that.
