Terry Ready To Face Mourinho

Mourinho became an idol during his 3 year stint in the West London winning several major trophies including two premier league titles and an F.A cup. Mourinho had an unbrakeable relationship with his untouchables which also included Terry and was respected by each n every corner of the Stamford Bridge. The charismatic Portuguese left the club during last season by 'mutual consent' following a reported brake-up with the club owner.

Terry said at the prospect of facing his former boss:

"All the lads are already saying we’ll get Inter in the Champions League and you just know we probably will meet them,"

"Jose was a top manager and someone I loved working with," he continued. "But it was a change the club made so we’ve moved on and moved forward.


When Asked on to tell the similarities and differences between Mourinho's and Scolari's coaching styles, the Blues captain said:

"Pre-season has been very different this year," he said. "Under Jose we never did any running but with Scolari we’ve had our trainers on and done 1,000 metres, which is similar to the Vialli and Ranieri style of thinking.

"Now we all feel really good and well prepared for our opener against Portsmouth.



Terry added: "Scolari understands football and the lads. I was really pleased when Peter Kenyon phoned to tell me they were going to announce his appointment.

"I first met him at a game he came to watch and chatted for 15 minutes. I was phoning people afterwards telling them that I’d met him and what a great guy he was. Then it turns out some time later that he’s our new boss."

Terry - United Have Hit Their Peak

Terry's latest comments follow the claim from Sir Alex Ferguson that there was no room for improvement in the Chelsea squad as all of the senior squad members had passed their best. John Terry in a way has hit out at Scotish tactician by insisting that United have hit their peak in the previous season.

But the real thrust of Ferguson’s argument – that United’s younger side are the team for the future – has also been denied by Terry who has claimed that the reigning European and Premier League champions have reached the pinnacle of their ability.



Instead, the Chelsea captain believes it is Luis Felipe Scolari’s side who will reach ‘another level’ having lost out to their rivals on the final day of the league season and in the final of the Champions League.

“They have had two good years and you have to stand back and take your hat off to them, but we know we were good last year and we have another level to go to,” Terry told Chelsea TV.

“Last year I think we saw the very best of Man United, but we have got an awful lot to come from last year.

“We have got improvements to make but I think Man United are at their peak.”

Despite suggestions that owner Roman Abramovich covets the Champions League more than any other trophy, Terry insists Premier League success is the priority for the coming season.

“The Premier League is the one we are after, we want to get that back,” Terry continued.

“And over the course of the season, to show that consistency and get that back off Man United would be fantastic.”

Cech Ready To Forget Sour Moscow Memories

Peter Cech has urged his Chelsea counterparts by saying that the best way to forget a losing final is to get to another final.. Chelsea are in Moscow where they lost the Champions League final last term to their bitter rivals Manchester United on penalties.



John Terry Misses An Important Penalty In the Champions League Final Shootout

"You can turn the page and go on because you have to do it, but of course the defeat stays in your mind for quite a while - and the best way to forget about the memories from the losing Final is to get to another one," Cech told the club's official website.

"Only like that do you forget about the defeats in finals and we still have plenty of time to do it.

"What happened in Moscow happened in the past and we are coming looking to the future because the two games will be important for us to prepare for the start against Portsmouth.

"So we come here only for this purpose. I can't talk for everyone else, but for myself it is in the past and the new season starts and I am only looking forward."
