Carlo hails 'great man' Terry
New Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti feels that John Terry is the 'symbol' of the Premier League club.
England captain Terry is a transfer target of cash-rich Manchester City, who have seen two bids for the defender rejected by the Blues.
Italian coach Ancelotti stated on Saturday that he is "100 per cent" convinced his skipper will stay at Stamford Bridge.
City boss Mark Hughes has since reiterated his interest in Terry but admitted his side could be forced to look elsewhere if Chelsea's stance remains the same.
And, speaking after his side defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 in his first game in charge, Ancelotti has hailed Terry for his commitment to the West London outfit.
The former AC Milan coach said: "John Terry is a great man, a quiet man and he is a symbol of this team.
"There is no pressure on him to play. He is a very, very good man."
Goals from new signing Daniel Sturridge and midfielder Frank Lampard secured the success, and Ancelotti was pleased with his team's performance.
"I learned that on one hand we have a very good team that works very well," Ancelotti said. "Sometimes we can make a mistake but not all the time. The players were concentrated.
"I like this because normally in the first game we can't make a mistake, it is important to work hard and want to improve. We want to improve and we will improve for the next game. For the first game I am happy."
Goalscorer Lampard added: "The game was pretty even really, except for the two goals we scored, which might be the slight difference in quality from the Premier League to here.
"Seattle tried to play good football and created some good chances. They were unlucky not to score."
