Claudio Gives Players Silent Treatment

Last updated : 25 February 2003 By Rich Godden
Rovers ran out 2-1 winners in the end but it could have been so much different had Eidur Gudjohnsen and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink been more clinical. After the game, Ranieri told the press that it was our worst performance of the season. But Terry sheds a new light on how dissapointed Claudio really was.

JT said, "We were shocking in the first half and when we came in at the break, Claudio couldn't bring himself to talk to us.

"Then when the game finished he didn't appear at all in the dressing room, not only does that tell us how badly we played, it just shows how passionate and committed the manager is to getting a success for the club."

I think the Chelsea players were just relieved that Claudio didn't try to re-inact the Fergie-Becks incident...
