Rio Ferdinand: โYouโve got to give it to Chelsea, yeah. Their owners have come in, theyโve created a new model right, everyone laughed at them, everyone ridiculed them, said, โThereโs no chance theyโre going to finish anywhere, if you were a player youโd never sign for Chelseaโ.
Theyโve swept up some of the best talents in the worldโฆ. Theyโve gone full throttle with it and backed themselves, and then found a few loopholes, that some people are turning their nose up at, but if thereโs a loophole there to be had, itโs there to be had, and theyโve exploited that and thatโs the Premier Leagueโs doing, not theirs.โ

"This responsibility is something I enjoy. I have captained the team many times now and it's always an honour. I take great pride in representing Chelsea and knowing I have the trust of the head coach, my team-mates, and the supporters..."
"This attitude does not change, no matter if it is a Premier League, European, or Club World Cup game. The demands stay the same, because this is what is required at Chelsea..."
