John Terry has been speaking about Xabi Alonso and his impending arrival at Chelsea, and like the rest of us JT is superb excited about what the new manager can bring.
Most importantly, Terry thinks the former Liverpool player will bring with him one key ingredient that some of Chelsea’s recent coaches have lacked – respect from the dressing room for an elite playing career.
Terry on the key ingredient that Alonso has
“I think he’ll come in the building on day one and have respect as a player and as a manager,” Terry said on Piers Morgan’s World Cup preview.
“100% from the Chelsea supporters; this is a positive signing. I’m sure he’s going to get a massive response at the opening day of the season.
“If I was a player coming into Chelsea and I sat with Alonso; I look at the difference between sitting with him or Rafa [Benítez] — I know who I would like to sign for — I would like to sign for Xabi and would like to come and play for him because he’s a great man; he’s a great technician [and] he was a top player.”
