A player punished for a scandal about his private life only, it is the first in professional football. After the revelation of his extramarital affair coach Fabio Capello has decided to degrade John terry by withdrawing his captaincy.
The decision was announced on Friday afternoon by the English Football Association after a meeting of twelve minutes between the Italian coach and player.
John Terry, 29, married and father of twins aged 4, had developed a relationship with the companion who was then his partner club Chelsea and the national team, Wayne Bridge.
John Terry relationship that has lasted four months with the French Perroncel Vanessa, 33, supermodel in lingerie and mom also a boy of 3 years, she fell pregnant. She had an abortion at the expense of John Terry. Since then, Wayne Bridge has been transferred to Manchester City and the couple separated.
All this makes for a very high profile footballer, an ‘Dad of the Year “in 2009 and exemplary in the field, but whose exploits have sometimes spilled over into the category of miscellaneous. In this year’s World Cup, the best interests took precedence, and Fabio Capello has preferred to leave the captaincy to Rio Ferdinand, the patron of the Manchester United defense and the vice-captaincy to Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool star. Two players deemed wiser, even if the press had expressed concern in 2003, the former’s refusal to submit to doping control, and if the latter found himself in court after a brawl in a bar-restaurant there is a little over a year.
Fabio Capello has been greeted with relief the news of the beautiful Vanessa in which it undertakes not to make any revelation on the matter. The Italian coach now faces another puzzle: knowing John Terry is essential for the England team, will require strong competition for the post of Wayne Bridge (left rear) to justify his non-selection by national team.
