Chelsea skipper Terry: Scolari yet to lose temper

Chelsea captain John Terry says new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is yet to lose his rag this preseason.

"He has got a good sense of humour but there is the other side to him as well, believe me," said Terry. "We've not seen it yet, but I'm sure we will do over the course of the season!

"First and foremost, he's a great football man with a great knowledge. He's passed on some great things to us already in training with his methods and I think we've shown that in the first couple of games.

"Around the hotels he's relaxed and he likes the players to enjoy themselves. He likes us to be relaxed in training and show what we can do. At team dinners and meetings he likes everyone to have their opinion and he sits and listens as well."

The whole squad have had to listen to Deco and Jose Bosingwa entertain them with a song - as is the tradition at Chelsea for the newcomers. Terry is even expecting Scolari and chief executive Peter Kenyon to do a turn at some point on the trip.

"Bosingwa was shocking, to be fair," joked Terry. "But Deco did all right. It might sound silly to some people but it's been a tradition for years and it maybe helps people settle in. It's a great test of character."
