Chelsea captain John Terry says the Blues can still win silverware
Chelsea’s talismanic skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 has insisted that their season is not over yet and they can still win silverware.
John Terry led http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 to their first win in over five matches against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League knockout round on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 skipper said, “It is a good lift, winning does that and you can see the buzz in the dressing room. It is important we continue this run, this could be the start of it. The manager said we are not dead yet and there are a number
of games to be played and points to play for and we are not dead yet.”
The Barclays Premier League Champions have not been at their fluent best in the ongoing 2010-11 season. Despite their strong start, they have failed to keep up the momentum and eventually lost impact in almost every competition except the UEFA Champions
League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are currently placed fifth in the Barclays Premier League, 12 points behind the League leaders Manchester United and have already been ruled out of the Premier League crown contention.
John Terry and company also crashed out of the FA Cup, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 managed to end their unbeaten record in the League Cup by winning the tie on penalties.
The Blues spent over £70 million to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 in the January 2011 transfer window. David Luiz is cup-tied and would not represent Chelsea in the current season of the Champions League. However, Fernando Torres was given his Chelsea
debut on Tuesday and the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 man did well in his first European match.
But it was Anelka who stole the show with two superb strikes to give Chelsea an added advantage in the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
Terry hailed the performance of the team and was impressed by the hard work done by the Chelsea attackers.
He said, “It is difficult for strikers at the minute because there is so much competition, but credit to them. Didier when he came caused a lot of trouble. They seem to be clicking and playing well, but it takes a few weeks for the guys to settle in and
hopefully this is the start of a good partnership.”
