Chelsea skipper John Terry claims they have always played tiki-taka
football as he lauded new signing Cesc Fabregas.
Jose Mourinho's side was criticised last season for playing defensive
football, but this term Chelsea have been the great entertainers.
The arrivals of Fabregas from Barcelona and striker Diego Costa from
Atletico Madrid have seen the Blues bag 15 goals in their first four
Premier League games.
But Terry, talking to Sport magazine, rejected accusations that the
arrivals of the Spanish stars from Chelsea's principles.
He said: 'Fabregas is associated with tiki-taka but at Chelsea we've
always played this way: pass the ball, control games, and give ourselves
more options going forward.
'To be honest I don't think there have been wholesale changes. We've
always wanted to play through the midfield.
'You can see the qualities Cesc brings to the pitch - he can find passes
that others can't, he keeps the ball really well and helps us control
games.
'To have someone so influential in the Spain squad along with Diego Costa
has been great.'
