Defender John Terry talked about his early replacement in the last match for Chelsea.

The duel against Sunderland (5-1) summed up the 19-year career of Terry in the London club. In the next season John will play for another team, because many were surprised that the farewell match of the defender for Chelsea was so short.

Terry was replaced already in the 26th minute of the fight. Fans guessed that the minute was chosen by analogy with the game number of John, but not too happy to give the player so few playing minutes in his last fight after the Blue. As a result, it turned out that all this was invented by the Englishman himself.

"I talked to the coach about how to play 26 minutes and leave the field," Terry said..

"I thought that in the last match of the season, Antonio Conte wants to give the game time to those who rarely appeared on the field. It was a kind of compromise ".

After the match, the coach of Sunderland David Moyes said that his team also knew about the idea of ??Terry and agreed to knock the ball out in the 26th minute.

In his last season for Chelsea, John played only 9 matches in the Premier League, having scored the first goal scored.
