Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas wants to emulate his hero John Terry
Last Updated: 11/05/14 12:31pm
Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas says he dreams of emulating his childhood
hero John Terry at Stamford Bridge.
The 20-year-old replaced the injured Terry to make his Premier League
debut against Liverpool in the recent 2-0 win at Anfield, having spent the
previous two seasons on loan at Vitesse Arnhem.
Kalas joined the Blues from Czech side Sigma Olomouc in 2010 for a fee
reported to be in the region of ￡5.2million and has three first-team
appearances to his name.
As a youngster, he modelled his game on Terry and admits he is delighted
to be part of the same team as him.
"I always watched Chelsea and wanted to play for them. It was because JT
was my idol," he told The Sun. "What marked him out as my star player was
how he read the game, his experience, his heading - everything.
"It was a dream from the moment I signed to be at the club for a long time
like JT and become a legend. But I can't begin to compare myself to him
yet."
Kalas tried to remain modest when asked if he was ready to replace Terry,
who turns 34 this year, but says he is prepared to step in when required.
"If I say yes, I show myself to have a big head. If I say no, it's like I
don't have confidence - it's somewhere in between. But confidence-wise,
yes I think so," he said.
"If I wasn't confident to start or come off the bench, then I shouldn't be
here."
