John Terry has claimed that he no longer likes to watch football, given the way the game has changed.
Terry, 44, was one of the best defenders of his generation and won 16 trophies with Chelsea while he had broken his youth club.
Terry also earned 78 caps for England and after ending his career with an enchantment at Aston Villa, he has held coaching roles at the West Midlands Club, Leicester City and Chelsea's Academy.
Last November it was announced that he would manage 26 people in the Nieuwe Baller League, a popular Six-a-Side tournament that is supposed to encourage high energy, quickly encourage football and appeal to a younger demography, although Terry's side ended in the 12-team competition.
And the 44-year-old has revealed that he was disillusioned by the modern game and the way it is played before he emphasized the positive impact of the Baller League.
“I'm no longer there and enjoy football more,” Terry told Talksport.
'The boys who started Baller League, the man named Felix, he has backers from Germany and all over the world, they were fed up with tactical competitions.
'Like where teams play against Man City and you get 11 men behind the ball, it's boring. Man City tries to split the other team, it's really boring.
“You don't see many photos that you don't see people like Eden Hazard or Joe Cole who get people from their seats.”
Terry continued to emphasize his position and claimed that his disappointment with the modern game was shared elsewhere.
“They started Baller League (with rules) such as when you exceed the halfway through the line, you have to go further, you can't go back,” he added.
'The generation of children they like to see. I think (the viewing figures) will grow again, but it comes to the point that people are tired of football. '
In the meantime, Youtuber, boxer and influencer KSI is president of the British version of the tournament that is organized on Monday evening during the season in the Copperbox Arena.
In addition to Terry, various other players and managers of celebrities are also involved in the competition, such as Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Luis Figo among those who are in charge of parties.
