After beating 10-man Swansea 1-0, Chelsea captian John Terry has admitted that it will be a challenge for his team to win the Premier League title this season.
Chelsea are only two points behind league leaders Liverpool, but with Manchester City’s games in hand, it seems like an uphill task for Jose Mourinho’s side. However stranger things have happened, and Terry is not giving up hope yet. “It’s very tough,” Terry told Sky Sports. “It’s very important we keep winning our games, but it’s out of our hands at the moment. “We need City to lose or draw a game and we’ve still got to go to Anfield, so it’s a massive end to the season for everyone. “Looking at the result [at Anfield], it’s probably the one we wanted really, even though Liverpool are flying. “But the manager said before the game that, regardless of that result, if we don’t win our games, it makes it very easy for them. We won our game and the pressure is still on the teams above and below us.”
As we all know, there are no ‘easy’ games for any clubs this season, and with Sunderland travelling to Stamford Bridge next, Terry knows that they need to be focused. He added: “The manager won’t let us run away with it. We’ve got a few days to prepare for the game against Sunderland and that’s our big focus. “They are fighting for relegation as well, so between relegation and fighting for the title, we have to be a lot hungrier than them.”
