Chelsea captain John
Terry insists he is "playing well" despite the
mistakes that have crept into his game in the wake of the scandal
which has engulfed him over the past month.
Many have been critical of the form of the 29-year-old, who was
stripped of the England captaincy following tabloid revelations
surrounding him and the former partner of Wayne
Bridge.
Since reports of Terry's alleged affair with Vanessa Peroncel
hit the newspapers Chelsea have lost to Inter Milan in the
Champions League and lost top spot in the Premier League following
defeats to Everton and Manchester City.
But Terry insists that his form is holding up despite the odd
error.
"There are not many players who come out publicly and hold their
hands up like I did after the Everton game," Terry told The
People. "I also had an air-kick at Wolves but, apart from
that, I am pleased with my form this year."
John Terry was culpable for both of Louis Saha's
goals at Goodison.
"In the first half of the season I was in really good
form but after a couple of bad results, and what has gone on in
recent weeks, the spotlight has been on me. But I feel as though I
am playing well.''
Terry was content with his performance in the international
friendly against Egypt on Wednesday, his first performance since
losing the England captaincy, and felt he continued to play a
leadership role.
"I played well against Egypt,'' he said. "It was important for
me to come through that with a good performance. I think I did
carry on as a leader against Egypt. I think anyone who was watching
the game could see that.''
