Terry was dropped from the role amid allegations over his private life 13 months ago, but has controversially returned in place of Rio Ferdinand.
"I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea," stated Chelsea's Terry, who also claimed to be "very much wiser now".

Ferdinand, said to be appalled by boss Fabio Capello's handling of the matter, called Terry to back his leadership.
Ahead of Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff, Terry continued: "Rio phoned me, which was a very nice touch and goes to show what a great man he is.
"We had a 10-minute conversation and he wished me well. He cares about England.
"He was naturally disappointed, but said the most important thing was to keep winning."
