Chelsea skipper Terry plans pre-match Champions League final speech

John Terry plans to send Chelsea players out at the Allianz Arena fully fired up for their Champions League final clash with Bayern Munich.

The London Evening Standard says the suspended Terry is determined to be with his colleagues before kick-off at the Allianz Arena and give a motivational speech in the hope it helps inspire Chelsea to victory. He will then take a seat in the stands to watch the game.

The 31-year-old defender has made sure his involvement in the pre-match preparations doesn't undermine what coach Roberto Di Matteo has planned. In fact, the Italian has encouraged Terry to play a major part in the build-up even though he won't be playing in the match.
