John Terry have revealed how Jose Mourinho trained them during his days at Chelsea. The Blues legend who was linked with a reunion with his former trainer stated that Jose Mourinho reveal that no Chelsea player was immune to the whip of the Portuguese trainer. John Terry recalled how he was embarrassed in-front of fellow teammates by the trainer prior to the pre-season game.
“At every club he has had big characters and I’m not sure he has that at Manchester United at the moment. At Chelsea, he did,” Terry told the Daily Mail. “He embarrassed me after one pre-season, after we had won a league title”.
“He stopped the training session, came in, and threw down his pad”. “If you keep giving the ball away, I will go and buy someone for £50 million”. “I am thinking: ‘I played every game for you last season! And now you’re trying to humiliate me!” “I didn’t understand why he was doing that, but my instinct was to run and give everything; flying into tackles, winning the ball”.
“We made eye contact and he grinned. He knew exactly what he was doing – to get the best out of all of us. ‘I have seen him do the same to Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, and Michael Ballack. Big personalities in the dressing room. “You have to stand up and turn up at training every day and show him that you want to win at all costs. If you’ve got that, he’s 100 per cent on your side.”
