The players who have been there a long time, they help a lot
"We have a strong mentality and character and they are all winners and competitors.
"The dressing room spirit is fantastic. John Terry is a great leader but everyone like Ivanovic and Petr Cech, all the players who have been there a long time, they help a lot."
