Ancelotti sings Terry’s praises

February 8, 2010

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti sang John Terry’s praises following Chelsea’s 2-0 win over rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Terry has been in the spotlight after his private-life issues surfaced in the media.

Terry put his off-field problems aside as he gave an excellent performance to help his side move back to the top of the table. The Chelsea skipper was stripped of the England captaincy by England boss Fabio Capello.

However, Ancelotti was delighted with Terry’s performance and described him as a “perfect” captain

“John is the perfect captain for Chelsea,” said Ancelotti.

“My captain has a fantastic attitude. He is doing very well in every game.

“It is very important for the team to have this leadership. He was always in control of the game. He has a strong mentality.

“He is working for his club and we are happy to have this performance from him in this moment.

“The England captaincy was not my decision and I do not want to judge about this decision. I knew John met Capello but I did not meet with (Terry) afterwards.”
