Terry Admits Chelsea Stars Fear The Axe After European Exit


Chelsea skipper John Terry fears a backlash from Carlo Ancelotti and says all the players are sweating over their places against Blackburn today.

Terry believes Ancelotti is still fuming over the way his side crashed out of the Champions League against Inter Milan.

Terry knows they cannot afford a repeat performance at Ewood Park today and he said: “We will get a bollocking from the management, from the club, for the way we played. It was a bad performance from us.

“The manager wasn’t happy. Players could be dropped for Blackburn, could lose their place in the team because of the Inter performance.”

Terry is also facing a ­backlash from UEFA after slamming German referee Wolfgang Stark and claiming Chelsea have been victimised once again by the officials in the Champions League.

Chelsea were fuming that they were not given a penalty when Didier Drogba appeared to be wrestled to ground in the first half by Walter Samuel. They were also angry Salomon Kalou was not given a penalty in the first leg.

The former England skipper is so outraged he has urged the Chelsea hierarchy to take up the issue with Europe’s governing body as he feels drastic action needs to be taken. When asked if Terry thought there was a conspiracy against Chelsea, he added: “I don’t know. I am not going to say the word conspiracy, which is not the term I am using.

“But I am so frustrated by what happened and it is not good enough. We were at home and we didn’t get one decision.

“I think we need someone at the club to take it up with UEFA because it has gone on for two years now. People might say I am being one-sided, but it just wasn’t good enough.”
