Ancelotti supports disappointed captain Terry

(GSM) – Chelsea manager, Carlo Ancelotti has given support to his captain in the wake of John Terry’s red card at Tottenham.

The Chelsea manager spoke about pressure generally following the 2-1 defeat at White Hart Lane but asked specifically if he believes Terry is coping with pressure upon him especially; Ancelotti pointed anyone raising that question to the big picture.

“All the people are looking too much at his performances,” the Italian said.

“Maybe sometimes he had some problems and he didn’t play so well, maybe on Saturday he didn’t play so well, but you have to look to the whole season of John Terry which is absolutely fantastic.”

“I was a player and I know as a player sometimes you lose your control and any player can do this. John Terry is under pressure now, but everyone is under pressure at this moment,” Ancelotti added.

“He is the captain and he is involved in this exciting race and it’s nothing special.”

“The pressure is normal. To have pressure at the end of the Premier League is normal. We are top of the table and I think we have less pressure than the other teams.”

“We have to control this but I think my players have character and concentration to maintain their focus on our matches,” he said.
