John Terry is prepared to put off any thoughts of playing for England in the World Cup to help Chelsea win the Champions League.

The Chelsea captain has admitted that he is still hurting ever since Chelsea shoot-out loss to Manchester United two seasons ago. And according to Sky Sports News, he is more determined to conquer Europe with Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti has been drafted in as manager to help Chelsea finally get their hands on Europe's most prestigious silverware and Terry is optimistic over the future.

"To win the Champions League, it's a massive thing for me. With what happened in the Barca game and the final the year before that, it is still hurting," he said.

"We'll work hard to do our best next year. We're being linked with players that can maybe take us to that next level.

"As a player at Chelsea I'm happy and delighted that we're back in for these top players. It seems that for a couple of years we haven't been, but we're linked with the best players in the world again."

But for now Terry is focused on helping England gain maximum points in their upcoming games against Kazakhstan and Andorra.

Six points from the two games would all but secure the Three Lions safe passage through to South Africa next year but Terry, who missed the 5-1 win over Kazakhstan at Wembley, has warned that Saturday's game will be tough.

"We like to get it down and play, quick and fast," he added.

"The pitch is very bobbly, there were a few ricochets in training, but we'll deal with it as they have to as well. We'll have to adapt.

"I was there watching the game and I was really surprised as they were really sharp and well organised.

"They caused us a few problems. We have to be right on our game and prepared for the unexpected.

"They are going to be full of tempo and try to get in our faces. A lot of things are in their favour but we're hoping the lads will be really sharp."
