Chelsea boss Avram Grant has likened skipper John Terry to French legend Zinedine Zidane.

"The most important thing is loyalty to the club. They pay the money and give you the opportunity. A player doesn't need to be loyal to a manager, although he has to respect him," said Grant.

"I can compare JT with Zinedine Zidane. He didn't say 'I'm loyal to this coach'. But he was always loyal to the club he played for. It is the same with JT. In very difficult moments when some people were confused a little bit, he showed his loyalty to the club. They owe him a lot."
