Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has revealed how he turned to ex-club captain John Terry for advice this season.
As reported by the Independent, Christensen confirmed that he had spoken to the now Aston Villa defender about his wayward form.
I have had a smaller talk with John Terry, he has also experienced setbacks, and it is always nice to talk to someone watching it from the outside and to learn that they have experienced the same.
He told me that it is natural to make mistakes. And he tried to put it in perspective for me saying that if a forward misses a chance he can make it good again by scoring when he gets the next opportunity, but we can’t change a goal scored against us.
Christensen had impressed under Antonio Conte this season, dislodging David Luiz as the central defender of the back three.
However, in recent weeks the young Dane has experienced some tough learning curves with high-profile mistakes, which included gifting Barcelona an away goal at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their Champions League clash.
Terry is a known admirer of Christensen and has often tipped him for a great career in the past.
Even though he is no longer at the club, it is clear to see the lasting impression the defender has left not only on the young Dane but also at the club in which he is still fondly remembered.
