John Terry recently responded to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s comment that he is “bigger” than Chelsea.
Ibrahimovic, known for his confident remarks, once stated that Chelsea should have signed him and claimed he has more trophies than the club itself.
As quoted by 365scores on Instagram, he said: “Chelsea couldn’t sign me, I have more trophies than Chelsea. I should have been the one to sign them.”
In response, Terry humorously hinted that Zlatan would have struggled to get playing time due to the presence of Didier Drogba, Chelsea’s legendary striker, who was instrumental in the club’s success during the mid-2000s and beyond.
“He didn’t want to be on the bench,” he said and tagged his fellow teammate, Didier Drogba.
Terry’s comment underscores Drogba’s immense impact on Chelsea, especially considering his pivotal role in major triumphs, such as Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League win.
Terry highlighted Drogba’s legacy, suggesting that even a player of Ibrahimovic’s caliber would have found it challenging to take Drogba’s spot in the lineup.
