The former Chelsea star, Wayne Bridge, has revealed how two of her former teammates once resolved her differences by fighting each other in training, and did not end well for one of them.
Bridge spent six years in Chelsea between 2003 and 2009, and won four main trophies, including the title of the Premier League.
It was a period of great success for blues, but that did not mean that players are always seen in eyes.
Bridge has now recalled a time when Andriy Shevchenko and Tal Ben Haim reached an incident that left the Israeli defender watching stars after being at the receiving end of a combination of “incredible” blows.
Talking about fights among teammates, Bridge told Joe Cole and Carlton Cole in The costume Podcast: 'The best I've seen was Shevchenko and Tal Ben Haim.
'He loved to crush people. I think there were a couple of incidents between them, I think Sheva gave him a warning. You know what such is like. Then there was another success of such.
Wayne Bridge recalled a fight that he observed between two of his former chelsea teammates
He revealed how Andriy Shevchenko (without 7) delivered an “incredible” combination to knock out his teammate.
Tal Ben Haim (yellow babero) was at the receiving end and had to “swallow a little pride” after the incident
'Both basically ended on the other's face. And the combo that Sheva launched. Incredible. It was something like a jab, cross, hook, cross. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang! Finished game. I was made friend.
'You simply move on, it was ordered. Such only had to swallow a little pride and move on. And don't go close to Sheva again!
Former striker Shevchenko arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2006 with a great reputation after winning the Golden Ball while playing for AC Milan two years earlier.
He failed to meet expectations when he returned to Milan in 2008 after scoring only 22 goals in 77 appearances for Chelsea.
But he left a lasting impression on his teammates otherwise thanks to his fighting skills.
Ben Haim's time in Chelsea was also short -lived, since he only played 23 games in his lonely season after joining a free transfer in 2007 before moving to Manchester City the following year.
