Former Chelsea ace
defender, John Terry has revealed the Premier League club that can beat Pep
Guardiola’s Manchester City and end their unbeaten run.
The 37-year-old
believes Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea is better than the present Pep Guardiola’s Man
City.
Terry said Mourinho‘s
Chelsea sides in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons would beat Pep Guardiola‘s
current crop of Manchester City stars, despite their remarkable start to the
current campaign winning 17 matches in 18 games.
The England
International, who was part of a Mourinho side that set the record points tally
for a Premier League season (95 in 2004/05), said the team would have the edge
over Guardiola’s men.
When asked which other
Premier League sides in history would compete with City, he told Sky Sports: “I
would say 2004/05 or 2005/06, those two sides when Mourinho arrived at the
club.”
“We were never afraid
to say: “They’ll have more possession than us,” but we were set, comfortable.
“The full-backs would
always go up the pitch, and [Claude] Makelele would always sit, which was great
for us centre-backs. ‘But we had great legs, great power, and we had the big
man up front. Didier [Drogba] made such a difference.
“We had that ball into
Didier, and he could hold it up, with the runners off him and [Frank] Lampard
would be box-to-box game after game,” Terry said.
