Chelsea boss baffled by Terry red card

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is still baffled by the red card captain John Terry received against Everton on Monday.

Scolari said he was determined to hold his tongue after the incident but has viewed the footage again and still cannot come to a conclusion as to why the England skipper was sent from the pitch.

"Maybe I look at the game and I change my mind, but I don't change my mind about yesterday. I looked at the game again and I don't change," he told Chelsea TV.

"It's the same as I thought yesterday. For me it's not normal. I don't very well understand the decision.

"But he's the referee. After (the red card) John he goes to his friend (Osman) to apologise, he goes off like normal. He's a very good captain, he accepts the decision from the referee."
