Even though John Terry has been through more in the past few weeks than most players would in their entire careers, the Chelsea captain is confident that his form has continued at the high standard that he always sets for himself.

The former England captain has had many doubters and detractors, especially in the light of his various issues and problems with former team mate Wayne Bridge and the ‘affairgate’ scandal. People have questioned not only his integrity, but his form as well.

Terry sees it differently, and is confident that his playing time has been just fine. The match against Egypt was a turning point for Terry and the England team – to see how they would react to him as a player. He said: “I played well against Egypt. It was important for me to come through with a good performance. I think I did carry on as a leader.”

Terry is hoping that the positivity that he feels inside himself will come through on the pitch and influence the small section of fans who have been booing him to stop and take a second look at their own actions. Once that is achieved, Terry feels like the team and the fans can move on to the World Cup together and have every chance to win it.
