It was completely in keeping with his seven-year Chelsea career that Gary
Cahill arrived half-an-hour early for our interview ahead of his Stamford
Bridge farewell.

Since refusing to give in to injury to play in the 2012 Champions League
final just four months after arriving as a ￡7 million signing from Bolton
Wanderers, Cahill has been one of Chelsea's most reliable players and
characters.


He has also been one of the most successful, collecting every domestic and
European winners' medal, and taking over the captaincy from John Terry. As
he said himself, Cahill can leave with his head held high at the end of a
season in which it could so easily have dropped.


Chelsea's final Premier League home game against Watford on Sunday will
mark the 33-year-old's goodbye, whether or not he is involved in the
match, with the players due to complete their annual 'lap of
appreciation'.


Cahill described the final season of his contract, during which he has not
started a League game and has not been offered any personal explanation
from Sarri, as “terrible” and one that he will erase from his memory as
soon as he leaves Chelsea.


But the good memories far outweigh the bad for Cahill, who remains
thankful to Chelsea and the club's supporters for sharing what will
inevitably be the best years of his career, even though he is excited
about what the next chapter has to offer.


“If you look at the big picture, not this season, I think in terms of
myself and Chelsea, we have been good for each other,” said Cahill.
“They have been great for me and given me the platform to express myself
on the biggest stage and I feel I have given everything for the club and
for the shirt when I've played. And I've been lucky enough to be in a lot
of successful teams that have won a lot of trophies.”


Cahill was given the quickest of introductions into what life at Chelsea
would be like. Less than two months after joining, the manager who signed
him, Andre Villas-Boas, was sacked but little over two months later he was
a European champion.


Conversations with Terry had prepared Cahill for the sink or swim nature
of Chelsea and he joined the club over Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur
because he was desperate to win. Champions League, two Premier League,
Europa League, two FA Cup and League Cup winners' medals confirm he made
the right decision.


His value to the Blues was also recognised by his peers, as Cahill was
voted into three PFA team of the years in four seasons.

“When I first signed and walked into that dressing room with so many
iconic players, I just knew Chelsea was where I wanted to be,” he said.
“I could have pursued a move elsewhere, but I wanted to win and Chelsea
felt right for that. I wanted to compete every year for trophies and
Chelsea is that club.


“It took a few weeks for me to say to myself 'you know what, I can play
at this level' and then when I got that confidence I went from strength to
strength. I wanted the massive names and the stars to know I could play.


“I feel privileged to have been involved in Chelsea teams with such
legendary players as Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, JT and Lamps,
and the list goes on. To witness how they train and work has been a
blessing for me. All my best years in football have been in the last six
or seven years.


“But look at the players who have come and lasted one or two years and
you see a club like Chelsea can be very difficult. It's a ruthless
environment, you sink or swim and half of that is ability and the other
half is mentality. You have to be able to handle the stings.”


Cahill likened succeeding Terry as Chelsea captain to trying to follow Sir
Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. But the pair's relationship made the
handover smooth and Cahill's pride at lifting last season's FA Cup
demonstrates how highly he has valued the armband.

“John was someone I admired when I wasn't at the club and admired even
more when I played and worked with him,” said Cahill. “When it was clear
he was leaving, it was a bit like when Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester
United in terms of the captaincy, 'who's going to take that'? But also
'who's not going to take it?'


“John was great when he wasn't playing and he was still club captain and
I was captaining the team. We won the title that year and I played near
enough every game. I remember in the tunnel before we got the trophy, he
was adamant that I should wear the armband when we lifted it together.
That was a mark of what he is like.


“Then I took on the club captaincy after John left and that's part of the
reason why last season's FA Cup win was so big for me. I wanted to win it
because I had missed the final with injury in my first season and I really
wanted to lift the Cup with the armband on as club captain.”


The FA Cup success of last May will be what Cahill regards as his last
Chelsea memory, so keen is he to forget his nightmare final season under
Sarri.

Gary Cahill was never afraid to put his body on the line


“我認為不能上場比賽真的很糟糕，當我離開切爾西時，我對切爾西最後的記憶
將是上賽季的足總盃決賽。在過去的六個賽季我和切爾西幾乎贏得一切，所以本賽季
一直坐在替補席上是我沒有預料到的。”


“我知道俱樂部的運作方式，我跟隊中的教練組成員和球員都很熟。我認為，如
果俱樂部連續兩、三場比賽不讓一名隊員出場，俱樂部不需要向那名隊員說明理由；
但如果俱樂部連續八、九場比賽不讓一名隊員出場，俱樂部就需要向那名隊員做出解
釋了。發生什麼事了？但教練卻不曾向我解釋。”


“以前也有一些為切爾西奪得過冠軍的球員遇到過我本賽季遇到的這種情況，我
認為這種情況是不對的，我認為我無法尊重那種不讓以前為球隊立下過戰功的球員上
場的教練。”


Despite admitting Cahill may be Chelsea's best defender in the box, Sarri
has explained his omission by claiming he is not technical enough.


“我已經適應了所有執教過我的教練的不同戰術，陣型和比賽哲學，並且我希望
我也能從我的下一任教練那裡學到新的東西。每一次經歷，不管好壞，那都是一個學
習的過程。”


“我對自己處理事情的方式感到很自豪，雖然沒有多少上場機會，但我沒有在隊
內製造混亂，我依然每天按時參加訓練。我尊重俱樂部中那些給予我幫助，給我機會
的隊友和教練組成員，對我自己來說，能繼續走在正確的道路上是很重要的。我很高
興自己能為隊內像安帕度這樣的年輕人樹立一個良好的榜樣。”


Cahill, who was part of Gareth Southgate's England squad at last summer's
World Cup, was keen to stress that his opinion of Sarri should not be
interpreted as sour grapes at not playing.


“我之前隨英格蘭參加了世界盃，那時我沒能上場，但世界盃結束時，主帥索斯
蓋特對我的評價卻更高了。我認為問題的關鍵是在於你如何對待其他人。”


Fulham were one of a number of clubs to enquire about signing Cahill in
January, but the former Aston Villa youngster insisted a decision over his
next move could not be rushed as he looks to play on for another three or
four years.


“人們說得就好像我的職業生涯快要結束了一樣，但我並不打算那樣做，並且我
認為只要我照顧好自己，我肯定還能再踢上三到四年球。我已經準備好繼續前進了，
我將要離開切爾西，感謝所有隊友，俱樂部職員以及球迷，他們都給過我很多幫助，
我將昂首離開球隊。”
