John Terry and Wayne Bridge call truce as Fabio Capello urges axed England skipper to get help - report
7 Feb 2010 02:23:00
According to The Daily Mail, John Terry and Wayne Bridge have agreed to put their personal differences aside in an attempt to convince Fabio Capello that they can work side by side for England at the World Cup.
The former Chelsea team-mates are said to be on speaking terms again after the relevations concerning Terry's extramarrital affair with Bridge's ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Perroncel.
An unnamed source is quoted as saying: "They are speaking. That doesn't mean one man is necessarily going to accept the other person's point of view or agree with it, but the important thing is that they have now spoken.
"They don't have to go out to dinner together or be friends in order to have a working relationship.
"But it looks as though they have reached the point whereby they are able to think about what is best for themselves and for the England team."
Meanwhile, the News of the World claims that Capello has asked Terry to seek professional help to correct what the England boss views as an alarming and self-destructive pattern of behaviour.
'Don Fabio' stripped the sobbing Stamford Bridge hero of the national captaincy after an allegedly teary 12-minute meeting on Friday, handing the armband to Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand.
More than his off-field antics, Terry's reported refusal to accept his demotion - it is believed that he was confident of staying on as skipper - has apparently become Capello's biggest cause for concern.
While the former Juventus and Real Madrid coach stopped short of ordering Terry to see a psychiatrist, it is understood that he wants the 29-year-old to at least revamp his management hierarchy and seek a new agent.
