Chelsea captain, John Terry, has branded Nigerian skipper, Mikel Obi, as the laziest player in the Blues squad because the Nigerian sleeps a lot.
Terry, in giving unofficial awards to his colleagues in the Chelsea team, said Obi was always sleeping whenever the team travelled for engagements, however short the journey.
Terry said: “No one’s the lazy one but Obi. Mikel sleeps everywhere we go on the coach. It could be a five minute journey and you look round and he’s asleep. He sleeps everywhere!”
The 35-year-old defender, who is battling to renew his contract at the Stamford Bridge as his term runs out with this season, also picked out their fiery striker, Diego Costa, as the team’s joker, while their January signing, Pato, he said is an angel.
He singled out Willian Borges da Silva as their coolest and best player of the season, while he rated Branislav Ivanovic as the strongest in the squad.
“The joker of the team would be Diego Costa,” Terry said. “Very funny guy. “The angel would be Pato – he’s an angel! Willian would be Mr. Cool. He likes his clothes and his fashion. Branislav (Ivanovic) is the strongest. “Willlian has been our best player, Kurt Zouma was doing well up until his injury but Willian has been the standout player for us, this year.”
On Gary Cahill and Loic Remy, he said: “Gaz Cahill and Loic Remy (are the scared cats), but they keep threatening to get me back (for pranking them) so that could be me in a few weeks!”
