Ancelotti stands by sacked England skipper Terry
Carlo Ancelotti believes Chelsea captain John Terry has the full backing of the Stamford Bridge dressing room despite revelations about his private life.
Terry was sacked as captain of the national side after a meeting with England manager Fabio Capello on Friday, but Ancelotti insisted the player has remained totally professional throughout a difficult week.
Asked if he still had the backing of the players, Ancelotti replied: "I think so.
"John speaks with his team-mates because he's the captain of this team.
"He is focusing on his job. He's doing very well every day, every moment. He's the captain of this team so, with his behaviour, he's doing his best for this team.
"And also he played very well in the last two games. He scored against Burnley. He's in fantastic condition at the moment.
"The problem that involves John is outside our training ground and it's a normal life for us. John's mood is very normal.
"I have not spoken to him. It's not necessary for me to speak to him about his private life.
"It's his private life and I don't want to know anything about this. I'm only interested in his professional behaviour and that is the best.
"I'm not interested in the private lives of the players. In the past some coaches phoned home to control their players, but I never did this in my career and I won't in the future.
"I'm only interested in the players at the training ground and to control behaviour at the training ground. Private lives are an important thing - they should remain private."

Well there goes any chances of England winning the world cup, JT was the best leader on the pitch regardless of any of the off-field drama, Rio Ferdinand can't lead to save his life, and I don't know why Capello would give the captaincy to an out of form thug who attacks strikers lyk craig fagan from behind and dodges drug tests...hmm where's the logic? By the logic used against JT, then our wonderful captain stevie G, couldn't have been skipper due to his assault on that DJ, Rio shouldn't be, and it really should have come down to either Frank Lampard or Wayne Rooney. Frank Lampard is to loyal a friend to Terry, so he wouldn't have taken over, and it wouldn't have been smart to give Rooney captaincy, even though he doin a better job at united den ferdinand, but there shouldn be added pressure put on the lad's shoulders. Therefore, verdict is John Terry should remain captain, but i guess capello knows the best way to lose our beloved england the world cup...
Ashley cole got stop by the police for doing 170kmph on a 60mph zone and the officer asked him why his going to fast and he said he just got a phone call from someone saying John Terry is inside his house...LMAO
not that carpello has no sin. the trick is to have sin but not get found. same as all other crimes. doesn't matter if you do it, as long as no one knows, no one will blame you. of course you will have to deal with guilt yourself, but thats between you and god.
as for the 1st post, no they are not paid to win the nobel prize. but they are expected to behave! to set an example to the young generation who idolizes them. to your children ( if you have any) and every other children. of course that would be not true if you want them to turn into whores ... but i think thats not the case. this is why Terry and Tiger woods have come under heavy fire ... if they were just any other ppl ... i couldn't be bothered.
