Chelsea captain John Terry has warned his Premier League rivals: ‘I am far from finished.’
Terry has played every minute of his side’s title-winning season so far, and has set his sights on completing the remaining three matches.
Former Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez famously said Terry, who was 32 at the time, could no longer play two games in a week.
And the 34-year-old, who signed a new 12-month deal earlier this year, is adamant he still has plenty of football ahead of him.
‘When people write you off it does spur you on. It’s not nice to read when you’ve been at the top for so long,’ said the former England captain.
‘There will come a point when enough’s enough but I’ll know when that is and I’ll be the first to say, “Listen, I can’t do this no more”.’
Of Benitez, he added: ‘I don’t need to stand here and prove him wrong. My football’s done that for my whole career.’
Meanwhile, Terry is hopeful that 37-year-old striker Didier Drogba, who has yet to extend his deal beyond the end of this season, stays at Stamford Bridge. Terry said: ‘Let’s hope he’s in the camp next season. He’s got a massive part to play on and off the field.’ – Daily Mail
