Terry hot on history
Tuesday, Jan 18, 2005
John Terry has revealed that he used Chelsea’s phenomenal past record
against Tottenham to help motivate his team-mates to another victory
over our London rivals at the weekend.
The win made it 30 league games unbeaten against Spurs and also took
our overall current winning run to six consecutive games, a new record
for Chelsea in the Premier League. But it was the Tottenham total that
was the talk of the dressing room prior to kick-off according to the
skipper, particularly amongst the newer arrivals.
Speaking to Chelsea TV after the final whistle, Terry said: “A few of
the lads were asking about the record before the game and just saying
how long has it been and why is it we haven’t lost against Tottenham.
“I drummed it into them that we are not going to be the side that comes
here and loses. That is what we all said, you don’t want to be
remembered as the team that played here and lost. We were definitely not
going to be part of that.
“It is a tough place to come even though the record has been so
brilliant. Martin Jol has done a great job, they look more solid and I
think they were putting out a statement that they were not going to park
the bus when they put Ledley [King] up front!” he added, making
reference to Jose Mourinho’s assessment of the earlier meeting in
September.
Frank Lampard was in agreement that keeping the 15-year run going was
not easy.
He said: “This thing we have over Tottenham is almost worrying at times
because you know it has to end and it is great to make it another game.
I’ve been involved in a few of them now and it is nice.
“You have to give respect to Tottenham, they have been playing well
recently and it was a game we could have lost if we were not at our best
and worked as hard as we did.”
As well as team statistics, the Spurs game also set-down a personal
milestone for Terry — his 200th Chelsea game.
“It is great for me to have come such a long way having come through
the ranks and started so young. To make 200 appearances is, believe me,
a great achievement for me.”
