Former Chelsea star John Terry has revealed a conversation he had with one of his managers.
The ex-centre half revealed that old boss Jose Mourinho told him and Gary Cahill to f*** off" at one stage of pre-season.
Mourinho was so furious with his two centre halves that he stated he would buy Raphael Varane from Real Madrid to replace them.
We'd signed a few new big players and he did this possession game where me and Gaz are playing the ball into midfield and there's no space to play but you had to go through midfield to get to the other third," Terry said about pre-season ahead of the 2015-2016 season on the Obi One Podcast.
Me and Gaz are feeding it in, it is getting intercepted, we're conceding goals and he stops the session.
I'm the captain and Gaz is vice-captain, we'd just won the league the year before and he goes "you two, you can f*** off. I'll go and sign Varane and another top defender in the world for 100million and you two can sit on the bench and watch them".
Me and Gaz are like "f****** hell we won the league last year! We couldn't believe it.
Then we looked at each other and thought 'game on'. I promise you for the rest of the session, all me and Gaz did was kick absolute lumps out of everyone.
The level in training went up and the new players went 'oh my god, he's just battered the captain and vice-captain. He's in charge'.
Afterwards he put his arm around me and Gaz walking off the pitch and said to us 'that's why you are my captain and vice-captain'."
