Terry: Defeat By Arsenal Hurts, But It Has No Bearing On PL
“Maybe I am wrong but I have the idea that less points will win the title this season“.
FA Cup winners Arsenal beat champions Chelsea 1-0 in England’s Community Shield season curtain-raiser at Wembley to end a long wait for victory over their London rivals.
After ending his painful 13 game winless streak against fierce rival Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger will now be gunning to smash another hoodoo: winning the Premier League title for the first time since 2003/04.
After two weird years could Rooney finally show us that he is a top-quality striker.
“But you know it is that moment of the season where everyone is behind – the energy, the intensity to turn results is more hard because people are not sharp, and don’t have intensity”.
“Our players can compete with all the big stars”.
On the other hand, Cech is at present 33 and also a world class keeper and the Frenchman believes he can make the same impact by bringing his experience to the club.
It is usually a convivial event with much pre-season bonhomie between all 20 Premier League managers ahead of the start to the new season.
Arsenal supporters will still be celebrating their impressive victory against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
“From 2016/17 we are playing some games on Friday nights, but we won’t move individual fixtures as you can’t do it for everybody”.
Mourinho is one of only two managers to have successfully defended the Premier League title in the last 31 years – along with Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson – and when asked why so few managers had achieved this he said: “Why?”
“The lady is a bit confused”, Mourinho said.
“If Costa is injured a lot and is going to be missing, that’s the scary part – can they (Chelsea) get away without him?”
While the Community Shield will be an afterthought by the time the major prizes are handed out in May, Terry is such a driven character that the sight of Arsenal’s players lifting the silverware has added fuel to his competitive fire. “I think we deserved it”. Arsenal are a fantastic club with great players.
“I am putting in the work off the pitch and fitness is one of the most important things in the game, it gives you the platform and allows you to do the things you want to do”.
