Terry expresses 'regret' over Salah's departure from Chelsea

The former captain of England and Chelsea legend John Terry has revealed that he regrets not being a better captain than the likes of Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne during their time with the London giants. While KDB plied his trade for Chelsea between 2012 and 2014, Salah spent two unsuccessful years with the club between 2014 and 2016. With neither able to make a lasting impression at the club, Salah and KDB eventually saw themselves heading toward the exit doors at Stamford Bridge. Now earning hero status with Liverpool and Manchester City, Salah and De Bruyne came a long way from their largely frustrating spells with Chelsea. According to Terry, however, the former Blues captain feels that he could have done better to help the duo settle in at the club. Nonetheless, Terry spoke of his delight at Salah and KDB making a success of their careers thereafter. “It’s my one disappointment as captain because I think I adapted over time when those guys were there I was probably very strong, and very disciplined on the group,” Terry said. “That was probably the first sign where they needed an arm round the shoulder, a sit-down, could I have maybe helped them settle in? For those two players [De Bruyne and Salah] especially, to the levels they’ve gone to, I’m disappointed in myself as captain, that’s a regret I have. “But I’m delighted they’ve gone on to be what they’ve been. I wouldn’t have said they would reach the levels they have though [when they were at Chelsea]. No chance.”
