Chelsea captain John Terry turns his attention to the Premier League
Chelsea captain John Terry has turned his attention to the Premier League after his side’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils are now favourites to progress to the semi-finals of the tournament, especially since they have conceded just two goals throughout the entire Champions League campaign so far. Things could have been very different indeed had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 been awarded
a penalty late on in the match. However, the referee gave the decision in United’s favour, much to the chagrin of the Blues.
The Champions League encounter between the two Premier League giants has been the subject of much discussion recently, but Chelsea defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 is trying to bring his side’s focus back to the Premier League.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international believes that Chelsea need to concentrate on their next match, which is a Premier League home game against strugglers Wigan Athletic.
The Blues are almost surely out of the race for the League title, as they are currently 11 points behind Manchester United. However, captain John Terry still remains optimistic of his side’s chances of retaining their crown.
Speaking on the situation, Terry said, “We must now focus on the capture of the Premier League points on Saturday, but have the bonus of a near fully-fit squad. We've got Wigan at home at the weekend, we're still in the title race. We're many points away
but we've got one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/The-Strongest-c40725 squads in the league.”
He added, “Everyone is fit apart from Alex at the moment, who's just match sharpness away, and we can get everyone involved at this key part of the season.”
Chelsea are currently in fourth place in the League standings with 55 points, having played a game less than leaders Manchester United. The Blues will be hoping that United slip up in their encounter against Fulham on Saturday, something that could be aided
by the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 from the squad.
