Five years after joining Chelsea, Gary Cahill is on his way to winning his sixth trophy for the London club.
But this time it will be a little different for him, as with John Terry’s frequent absence in the starting team, Cahill has captained the Blues in most of the league games.
Speaking to ESPN Brasil, he talked a bit more having the armband: “This season I’ve enjoyed the responsibility…. we’ve set goals and things that drive you, things to keep you going.
“There’s been many things this season, new formation, new style of play. We adapted here, they handed me the responsibility to be the captain for the majority of the season.”
Cahill has won the Champions League, a Premier League, Europa League, a League Cup, and an FA Cup for the Blues. This time he says it won’t feel any different: “I look at the top players. I look at the top players in the world. I look at the top defenders, you know, Ramos, Pique, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, this calibre of player.
“When you look at it, they win titles. And the majority of them, not only one title. They’ve won it again and again. So that’s the will that drives me. I’ve managed to win everything once. I want to be one to do it again.”
Cahill has already scored eight goals this season, six of them in the league, quite a good number for a central defender. And he seems to be very happy with the record: “Obviously everyone always enjoys scoring goals. I work on that. And I’ve managed to score a lot of goals in my career. So it’s something I’m proud of.”
Finally asked why he keeps a low profile on social media, the player claimed he’s not into fame: “It’s something that I’ve chosen a little bit as well. Because I feel I’ve got enough attention as it is. Good or bad”.
