Former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho is full of praise for Blues legend John Terry.

Speaking to FourFourTwo, the Portuguese legend discussed how it felt being in the Chelsea dressing room and hailed former defensive partner Terry.

"At Chelsea, you'd train, work, rest, take care of your life and spend time with your family," he said. "The adaption was easier for me because this was how I liked to be.

"We had a brilliant dressing room and achieved success on the pitch."

Carvalho won three Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge, forming a strong partnership with Blues legend Terry in defence.

"There are some things you simply can't explain," he added. "Our connection was something else – if he didn't clear the ball, he knew I would cover him and vice versa. We complemented each other.

"It's a real privilege in football to be able to play next to a guy you fully trust, so I have to be thankful for that. We clicked straight away, and he went above and beyond to help me adapt to the English game."
