John Terry has revealed that he is scared of England boss Fabio Capello. Speaking at the launch of the Chelsea Hospitality Tickets scheme, Terry said Capello keeps a distance.

John Terry said: "He (Capello) keeps his distance a little bit. He can be quite scary at times. When you walk past him in the morning he gives you a little 'good morning' and that's it. It works well I think because on the field he's brilliant, he takes all the training sessions himself and I've been really impressed with him actually."

"We have to be in our rooms and, sort of shut away, by 11 o'clock."

Former England captain John Terry has spoken out in support of Chelsea team-mate Joe Cole as Fabio Capello prepares to name his final 23-man England squad for the World Cup.

Cole’s Chelsea team-mates Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard are all assured of their places on the plane to South Africa, while he is facing an anxious wait before Capello’s final decision, which was boosted by an impressive substitute appearance in England’s friendly win over Japan on Sunday.

Speaking following that game Terry, as quoted by Chelsea's official club website, said: "On a personal level with Joe he's been great for Chelsea towards the end of the season as well so I'm delighted to see him given the chance.

"He causes defenders all sorts of problems when he floats in between the midfield and the front men and can pick the passes - you've seen with the ball through to Ash [Ashley Cole] as well, so he's made a big impact and we'll have to wait and see.

It'll be a shame if he goes because I won't have anyone to chat about the greyhounds results with!

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard insists captain John Terry should not take any flak for his red card against Tottenham.

The defender has been heavily criticised for his dismissal in the defeat at White Hart Lane and manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted his skipper may have 'lost control'. The centre-back's performance against Tottenham added to questions about the quality of his displays, while he was stripped of his country's captaincy in the wake of the Wayne Bridge saga earlier in the campaign.

Lampard, though, insists Terry's determination is what makes him a great leader, saying: "JT wants to win and he's a fantastic captain.

"For the first yellow I thought he got a slight touch on the ball but when he went into that second tackle, you knew the minute the tackle went in he was going to get sent off. When you're playing in such circumstances sometimes these things happen."

The England midfielder said: "What happened on Saturday was disappointing, especially with Manchester United's result. When they scored in the last minute it was hard. If they had drawn the game it would have left us in a very healthy position but now it's tighter."

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that John Terry 'lost control' after being sent off in their weekend defeat at Tottenham.

Not only did Terry concede Spurs' opening penalty, he then proceeded to earn himself an early bath in the second half. Two fouls in quick succession left Chelsea man light for the rest of the game and he will now miss their home game with Stoke due to suspension.

"I was a player and you know sometimes you are not always rational, you sometimes lose your control," said Ancelotti. "He has had a fantastic season. Maybe sometimes he had some problems and didn't play so well, maybe against Spurs he didn't play too well."

"Now we have to win the next game and if possible the next three games - then we are the champions," he continued. Tottenham played better than us, it can happen, but it's a time to stay calm."

John Terry is convinced Chelsea will end Jose Mourinho's bid for Champions League glory when his Inter Milan side visit Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Inter head into the tie with a 2-1 advantage from the first leg, but captain Terry is confident that his side will overcome the Italian champion's slender lead. Fans can have a sports bet on Chelsea at 2-1.

"Returning to Stamford Bridge with a one-goal deficit and an away goal against the Italian champions is a starting point most sides would take and this side believes we can turn it around," Terry said, according to FIFA.com.

"We are going for three trophies right now and every game is crucial. Only winning will do."

England captain John Terry has been appointed as an ambassador for the Football Association's bid to host World Cup 2018.

England are one several front-runners interested in landing the finals and the bidding process will officially commence in January of next year.

They face competition from Spain, Portugal, Australia and 1994's hosts USA, but England are already putting their case together by lining up some of the biggest stars to have plied their trade in the country to back the cause.

One of those is patriotic Englishman John Terry, who will captain the nation at next summers' World Cup in South Africa, and the Chelsea man is honoured at being handed the role.

"It is a massive honour for me to become an ambassador for the England 2018 World Cup bid," Terry told the News of the World.

"I have no doubt we would provide a fantastic home for the World Cup if we had the opportunity to stage the tournament.

Little-known teenage defender Jeffrey Bruma has been making steady progress at west London giants Chelsea, and has recently been introduced to the training regime of the first team where he has confessed to learning from England captain John Terry, and Brazilian Alex, who showed with a series of strong performances last season that he is a top class reserve.

"The club has told me I will have every chance of playing for the senior team, which has given me a lot of confidence," Bruma is reported to have told the press.

"I talk every day with guys like Alex and John Terry. They say that I just must have patience, then take my chance when it comes.

"They tell me to train hard, harder than the others - and to do extra work after the regular training sessions.

"This is the way forward for me," he concluded.

John Terry is the last notable academy graduate, but the club have been making strides to bring through more youngsters, as Franco di Santo and Miroslav Stoch were introduced to regular cameo substitute appearances.

Chelsea and England captain John Terry is expecting a good year after his team showed great character to bounce back and beat Hull City at the weekend.

The Stamford Bridge outfit went behind to a shock goal from Hull debutant Stephen Hunt in the Premier League curtain raiser, but Terry believes the team showed great spirit to comeback.

"Judging by the result [against Hull] and the performance and the chances created it could be a good year," he told the club's official website.

"We are doing okay. It is going to take a little time as we have gone from three or four years of playing three up front and three in midfield, so we have maybe lost a little bit of width but the manager is encouraging the midfielders to bomb on, drag defenders away which creates space for the two forward men - so that is what we are aiming to do.

"We kept the fans on the edge of their seats which is not what they really wanted, but to see us comeback from a goal down and fight and show the spirit we showed at Reading [in pre-season] also, it is good to see that belief is still there amongst the squad. This year is going to be a really good one for us."

Chelsea skipper John Terry believes Chelsea have what it takes for success this season after securing a comeback victory against Hull City in their Premier League opener.

It may not have been vintage Chelsea, but the England international thinks it shows the west London outfit has the mettle required to challenge for honours.

He told Chelsea TV: "From a club point of view to see us come back from a goal down and fight and the spirit we showed together with the performance and the drive, well it's really good to see.

"And the belief as well among the squad that this year is going to be a really good year for us. And judging on the result and the performance and the chances we created it could be a good year.

"We went a little bit long too early. Seven or eight of their players are over six foot two and that's how they wanted us to play.

"We played into their hands a little bit. We should have kept it down kept the ball on the floor, have confidence in our own ability.

"It was disappointing (to go a goal down) but good to come back and fight again. There's a good fight and good spirit among the lads and that's how it's been pre-season.''
