John Terry: "I don't want to say it was me but I went to see Franco after the game and said 'Look, let everyone have a beer and speak to the manager. Flippin' hell, let's just switch off'. For the first time since the manager has taken over we sat there and he let us have a beer. Usually everyone goes straight back to their room and stays there until breakfast. It was good to get things off our chest and express how we felt. The discussions between the players will stay private but it was really nice to unwind. There was me, Lamps, Wazza, Aaron Lennon, Jamo, Crouchy, Jonno, Jamie Carragher, Stevie, and probably a couple more.
After games back at Chelsea you go into the players bar and you talk about the game and whether things have gone well or whatever. When things don't go too well it is important the lads stay together and the group stays together. That is what we had the other night."
Then Terry added: "I will probably get in trouble now."
"It's not good if it happens every day because that would p*** people off. It's certainly worked in the past at Chelsea. We have a responsibility to ourselves, the manager and everyone else to voice that opinion and hope he takes it on board although it's the manager who has the final decision. The players can say how they feel and if it upsets him [Capello] then I'm on the verge of just saying: 'You know what? So what? I'm here to win it for England'. He's feeling the same, the players are feeling the same and if we can't be honest with each other then there's no point being here. We've worked on a few things, formations, system. Whether the manager changes it to go with five in midfield, and Wayne up front on his own, I don't know. But hopefully that tension will go."
Terry, you're a wanker
Fabio Capello: "No-one spoke to me about any problems. My door is open always. If a player wants to speak with me, he can speak with me. At every meeting I ask the captain, 'any problems, do you want to say something'? Nothing. Then I read that John Terry had said this. I don't understand why he didn't speak with me. When you speak, you have to speak privately, not to the media. That is a mistake, a very big mistake."
