John Terry: "It has been four years, we need to win the League"

Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed that his club is determined to win the Premier League title this season. In an interview to the Evening Standard, the veteran defender was asked if the hunger to succeed was even bigger with the team finishing the previous season trophyless.

Terry said,

“For me the hunger is there from not winning the League. We need to get back to winning the title. It has been four years since we last did it, but I believe we have the squad to do it. We are so driven.”

The 33-year-old praised new signings Remy and Costa and hoped the bigger squad size would help them during the busy fixture schedule in the coming months.

He also said that it hurt to see other teams celebrating winning trophies.

“Naturally. No player should stand there when seeing another team succeed and not feel hurt. We came so close in the League last season, Liverpool probably feel the same. When you play all those games and just lose out at the end, it’s disappointing, it’s heartbreaking. This is what you work all season for, it’s what you live for. I want to win trophies, last year we didn’t. We’re not more determined because we always are but with the signings the owner made, we will go for it again.”

Chelsea play Swansea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday after the international break.
