Desailly : Terry no longer has respect of team-mates

John Terry is nice to kids, so they say... but so were the Krays!
Feeling blue: John Terry suffers yesterday but Chelsea's fans continue to support him
You can always tell when a sportsman’s arrogance has reached unbearable, boiling-point proportions because they start talking about themselves in the third person.
Thus it was with John Terry, who gave an extraordinary interview in which he said: ‘I’m on a mission and nothing is going to distract me. I want to win the Champions League and Premier League for Chelsea and World Cup for England. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I wouldn’t be John Terry if I felt any differently.’
I actually laughed out loud when I read that. The only mission Terry’s been on recently — that he ought to be ashamed of — is, of course, the mission to seduce his England teammate and best friend Wayne Bridge’s girlfriend.
A mission that has caused terrible damage to the significantly more important mission of improving England’s chances this summer.
Bridge has now pulled out of the squad, unable to deal with the appalling treachery and telling friends that the worst thing about it was Terry hasn’t even said sorry.
Imagine that for a moment. You bed your best friend and former team-mate’s girl, the woman he loves and has a baby with. Yet you don’t even apologise to him when you’re caught.
Instead, you calmly jet off to your gullible wife, who forgives your umpteenth infidelity yet again because she prefers being ‘JT’s wife’ with all the lucrative perks it brings, to not being ‘JT’s wife’. And you tell the world: ‘I’m responding the way I’ve always done — by looking straight ahead. Nobody’s going to knock me off my stride.’
Not a thought for Bridge, not a glimmer of contrition for the hurt and damage he has caused. That takes a special kind of ego, a special kind of selfishness. And he wouldn’t be John Terry if he felt any differently because ‘JT’ always does whatever ‘JT’ wants and sod the consequences for anyone else.
His career record shows us he’s a man who sleeps with who he likes, drinks what he likes, hits who he likes, sells out to who he likes and gambles what he likes.
And the worse he has behaved, the more protective his club have been and the louder Chelsea fans have roared his name.
A few people have tried to persuade me what a decent, misunderstood guy Terry is. One newspaper friend of mine almost welled up at a drinks party last week as he told how kind Terry had been to his young daughter. But the Krays were nice to kids, too.
The truth about ‘JT’ is that he is a pretty unpleasant piece of work, surrounded by even more unsavoury types, who thinks he can get away with anything because everyone of any authority in his life lets him.
Mr Unpleasant and Mrs Gullible: The Terrys are all fake smiles as they arrive at Heathrow
Roman Abramovich doesn’t care what Terry does. But why should we expect him to? By Russian oligarch standards, the Chelsea skipper is a veritable choirboy.
But Fabio Capello could yet be the man who finally gives Terry the lesson he deserves — by dropping him from the England squad altogether and inviting Bridge to rejoin it. That would surely be the right way to resolve this, wouldn’t it? Punishing the villain, not the victim?
‘There’s a shirt on my wall at home, the one I wore when I missed that penalty,’ said Terry. ‘It’s there as a daily reminder of what I’m striving for.’
Capello should send him Bridge’s World Cup shirt from England’s training camp in South Africa to stick on the wall as a daily reminder of what he’s missing.
I wouldn’t feel sorry for him. He doesn’t feel sorry for anyone else.

Shamed John Terry no longer has respect of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, claims former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly
Follow the leader: Terry replaced Desailly as Blues skipper - but the Frenchman believes the likes of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole no longer support their captain
Shamed star John Terry has lost all respect from his Chelsea team-mates according to former Stamford Bridge icon Marcel Desailly.
The World Cup winner and former defensive comrade to Terry believes the England international is seriously showing the strain from the fall-out over his affair with Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel and faces a difficult end to the season.
The retired French legend, now a TV pundit, believes Terry's position as captain is in great doubt, claiming the likes of Frank Lampard and Joe Cole are no longer with him.
Bridge too far: Desailly believes Terry's fall-out with Bridge has cost him respect
'The whole squad is affected and has big problems. It will be a hard end to the season,' Desailly told The Sun.
'Knowing John Terry well, I know why he is not playing the way he normally does. He was catastrophic against Inter Milan.
'You have to understand that John is a born leader and captain of this Chelsea side since 2004. Now he has no credibility whatsoever within the club and this is being felt.
'No one is following him. Lampard, Joe Cole and the others who knew Wayne Bridge no longer allow him to be the leader.'
Desailly spent six years at Chelsea before handing over the captaincy to Terry in 2004. But with the ex-England skipper struggling to cope under intense scrutiny, it could only be a matter of time before he is axed by Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, on current form.
