John Terry On Wilkins, Ancelotti & Sleepless Nights

Despite Chelsea’s run of bad form coinciding with Ray Wilkins’ departure this season, captain insists the two shouldn’t be linked, stating “He was obviously a massive asset to this club and brought an awful lot. We can look at that and say, ‘Yeah, we’ve missed him’, but we knew we had to get on with it. We’ve spoken to Ray in the meantime. He’s still in a good relationship with the players and the manager.”

Still a debatable point but the players have faced departures before and managed to get their act together I suppose. Not that John Terry is expecting any further departures in the current management set-up right now, because of Carlo Ancelotti, he says “The players are 100% behind the manager. He’s got total confidence in us, and that will remain the same. We believe in the manager and the players.”

Mind you, he might not feel the same way should we fail to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season and admits it’s a struggle watching everyone around us racking up the points, saying “That’s obviously the worst thing to think about, looking at Spurs and City. They’re playing well and picking up points at a crucial time. That would be disastrous for the football club if we don’t qualify for the Champions League. It’s even hard to get my head around it now. That’s what we’ve still got at the football club, hunger and desire. We missed out on the Premier League for three years when Man United won it, and it hurt. That’s what I lose sleep over, watching other teams lift trophies, because I want to be the one lifting trophies for this football club.”

Not that he’s dwelling on our defeat to Everton too much though because he somehow sees the potential for a silver lining in that, arguing

Terry even managed to put a positive spin on Chelsea having flopped in the league and FA Cup.

“That could be a blessing in disguise. It’s (the Champions League) the one that’s eluded the football club and myself as a player. So we aim to go to Wembley and hopefully lift this trophy.”

I’m not sure how convinced we are though.
