'It's really boring' - Chelsea legend John Terry reveals why he no longer watches football and says 'people are fed up' with modern game

<p><a href="https://x.com/talkSPORT/status/1943203536667365623" target="_blank">Terry used an appearance on talkSPORT</a> to lambast the current state of the game. He lamented the possession-based tactics of dominant teams like Manchester City, which in turn incentivise lesser teams to sit deep in response. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He also talked up the innovations put forward by the nascent Baller League. The influencer-heavy indoor product is attempting to carve out a niche with the younger generations of fans, and has implemented rules that designed to add excitement to the game. Terry was a manager in the first iteration of the tournament in the UK. His '26ers' finished in ninth place, winning three of their 11 games. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Terry told talkSPORT: "I don't sit there and enjoy watching football anymore.</p><p>"The guys who started Baller League, the guy called Felix he's got backers from Germany and across the world, they were fed up of seeing tactical games.</p><p>"Like where teams play against Man City and you get 11 men behind the ball, it's boring. Man City try and break the other team down, it's really boring. </p><p>"You don't see many shots you don't see people like Eden Hazard or Joe Cole getting people off their seats."</p><p>On the rules implemented by Baller League: "They started Baller League (with rules) like when you cross the halfway line you have to go forward you can't go backwards.</p><p>"The generation of kids they love seeing it. I think that (the viewing figures) will grow again, but it's getting to the point where people are fed up with football."</p>

WHAT TERRY SAID

<p>How the former England captain can square these comments with prospective employers will be interesting. Just last month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/feel-am-ready-john-terry-reveals-desire-follow-steven-gerrard-frank-lampard-management-chelsea-legend-admits-may-have-give-up-dream/blt6f4d081adba008b4#cs8de1563ccf47135d" target="_blank">Terry shared he still harbours dreams of becoming a manager</a>. You would assume an interest in the top level of the game would be a pre-requisite for those ambitions. </p>
