John Terry says that achieving success with Chelsea under the leadership of Luis Felipe Scolari would help him forget his penalty miss in the Champions League final defeat to Manchester United.

"Every morning I wake up and it's the first thing on my mind," Terry, the Chelsea captain, said. "I still think of it. I'm still very disappointed by it, but I'm a big man and have a big character and it's down for me to deal with it.

"Having the England games straight afterwards helped flush it away a tiny bit, but hopefully we will be successful with the new manager and players this season and flush away all those bad memories."

Terry believes Luiz Felipe Scolari's new philosophy will be the difference between success and failure for the club this season. "The team are determined to win the Premier League and as many trophies as possible," he said. "When you see the hunger of the new management and the team he has brought in, it's on their minds to do exactly the same."

Scolari has been pleased with his first three weeks at the helm and is looking forward to the club's opening fixture on their tour to China against Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals. "Our players are in a good condition, but not in the condition to win the title," the Brazilian said. "They have been training very well over the last ten days.

"We have started a new job with Chelsea, a new philosophy, different training. We have some little problems but this is normal at this stage. But I have good players and they will not be in the same condition in three weeks. It is my first game in charge and it is a process for the players to get to know me and what I want on the pitch."
