本週二，英格蘭隊在巴登訓練場訓練時，特裏被其切爾西的隊友韋恩布裏奇鏟倒，當時他神情痛苦地在躺在場地上數分鐘之久，不少人對他能不能繼續參加德國世界盃産生了懷疑。

　　週三接受完治療的特裏回憶起受傷時的情景，這名後衛仍然心有餘悸，“我感覺到踝關節被踢到之後，本能地就跌倒在地上。那一刻我的意識還比較情形，我知道自己正在訓練，但是那種痛楚帶給我的知覺就是，我可能得打道回府了。”

　　特裏表示“在世界盃開始之前因為受傷而提前退出是一件令人傷心的消息，但是感謝上帝，在經歷了那痛楚地幾分鐘之後，我又能站起來並且跑動了。”

　　“我們現在的訓練強度確實在增大，事實上我在切爾西隊就是保持這樣的訓練量，而同級別的曼聯和利物浦等球隊的球員都經受著這樣的考驗。”特裏強調道，“世界盃是每個球員夢寐的殿堂，誰也不願意在賽前發生這樣失落的事情，但是不能因為害怕受傷就拒絕參加必須的訓練，畢竟這是關乎整個英格蘭的大事。”

　　原文：Terry: I feared dream was over

　　By SHAUN CUSTIS

　　JOHN TERRY feared he would miss the World Cup after a hefty clash with his own Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge.

　　Bridge clattered into Terry at England’s training camp near Baden Baden on Tuesday and left the Blues skipper limping in pain.

　　For one horrible moment Terry thought it was all over and his dream was in ruins.

　　Having missed out on selection for 2002 the central defender wondered if there was a World Cup curse on him.

　　Fortunately it turned out to be no more serious than a whack he was eventually able to run off.

　　But it gave him the jitters so close to the big kick-off.

　　A relieved Terry admitted: “Your World Cup can go in one tackle.

　　“It’s a plus the way we train, which is so competitive, but when he caught me on the ankle I thought for a few minutes ‘Oh s**t! I’m struggling here and I could be on the way home’.

　　“Thankfully after a few minutes I was back on my feet and running it off.

　　“The thing is, training is so sharp. When the coach Sammy Lee gave a corner we’d be swearing at him and going mad.

　　“None of the lads want to lose and that’s a great feeling.

　　“It’s an English thing. I was speaking to the other players and it’s what we all get at club level every day.

　　“It’s what Chelsea training is like and the same at Man U and Liverpool.

　　“That’s the tempo we set. When the foreign players come in they have to raise it a bit.

　　“You just can’t go easy. If you start pulling out of tackles in training you do get hurt.

　　"And if you let other people get there before you then when it comes to the game situation, you will be hesitant.

　　“When I come away from training I don’t just leave, get on the bus and get back to the hotel. I come away thinking about what I’ve done, the work I’ve done and the work I need to improve on.”

　　The intensity of training reflects the winning mentality running through the squad.
