Chelsea legend Terry recently interviewed talkSPORT and talked about Tottenham, Lampard, and his views on the current football game. When asked about their views on Tottenham next season, Terry said: "I hope they don't have a good time. I think Thomas Frank is a good coach, but I don't think they are in a good situation right now. Looking at their results last season, I looked at their basics, facilities, training and the stadium, which are great, but I think it's time to make some changes and someone needs to really push them. But I still hope they keep the status quo. For Tottenham, I'll just say: I hate Tottenham, they hate it too. Me. It's that simple, since childhood, this pure annoyance made me want them to stay the same, which is the truth. "
Asked who was the best player in the mentality during his time at Chelsea, Terry replied: "Lampard, no doubt. In terms of pure talent, I think the best player in Chelsea is Hazard. But when it comes to perseverance year after year, everything Lampard did is well deserved. If I feel a little tired in training, I will go to guard Lampard because he won't stop and I know my running stats will Promotion, although not as high as him, I would follow him and end up exhausted. And when you start to slow down, look back and he is still dragging a bag of balls there to continue practicing, which makes you feel that it is best to do something. This is the top player... so you will want the former player to go back to the club and pass on this spirit to youth training, which is what you want to see."
Terry used to be a fierce defense in his time, but now he thinks that football has lost this style: "In the past, you could tackle fiercely, but now you can't see it. By this scene, the art of defense has completely disappeared, and seriously, I think it's a pity because some tackles would have been done if I was doing it, I would have rushed over. But now people are saying, 'You can't do that, it's a red card'. But I don't think it's true, you can't stop right after the tackle. So I'm very disappointed with the people who are now working in football with TV. Real football fans love to see this fierce confrontation, which is a very important part of what's missing now."
