Terry would like to lift the FA Cup

During a restricted meeting, Chelsea's John Terry discussion about his side's chances in the FA Cup, EPL and Europa League:

QUESTION) Finishing in the top four and qualifying for next year's Champions League is obviously Chelsea's priority, John. But you've got an FA Cup semi-final against Man City this weekend; what does that mean to you?

ANSWER) "I think everyone knows what the FA Cup means to this club. Over the years we've had an incredible record in it; it’s in our blood. We have one aim in the FA Cup this year and that is to win it. Nothing less. I think we've won the cup four times in the last 10 years, which is an unbelievable record. But we want to do it again. We are the holders and we don't want to give the trophy back. We know Manchester City are a good side but we've shown before what we can do at Wimble in big games so we're ready."  

QUESTION) Was beating Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-final replay a big moment in your season then?

ANSWER) "It was a great win, there's no doubt about that. But the most important thing was that it gave us another semi-final at Wembley. We've got Manchester City now and we're playing to be in the final. We want to lift the trophy."

QUESTION ) It might have been different if Petr Cech hadn't made an incredible save that some people are describing as the save of the year!

ANSWER) "Don't forget there was an amazing goal from Demba Ba too! But, yes, when he was needed Big Pete was strong. He came and caught crosses and his save from Javier Hernandez's header was incredible. Pete has had another great year - for Chelsea and for his country. He got his 100th cap for the Czech Republic recently, which was another great milestone - and I'm sure there are many more to come."

QUESTION) It's all rather hectic at Stamford Bridge at the moment - FA Cup ties, Europa League ties, the Premier League-in..

ANSWER) "Yes, it's a really hectic fixture list. But I love that. This is where the strength and depth of our squad will come into play. We as players have to be prepared for what's coming up. But we are used to competing on several fronts at this stage of the season - and if results go well it can be fantastic for building momentum."

QUESTION) Do you feel things are finally on the up for Chelsea then after a rather difficult season?

ANSWER) "I think we've said before we've not always been playing well this season. We've had spells up and also down. But we know we've got another level to go to. If we can put on a good run and some good form and get some points then we can finish strongly. And that is the target - to make the Champions League next year which is a must for this club. But I'm not just talking about fourth place; we haven't given up on third or even second. It's up to us."

QUESTION ) It shows amazing mental grit that the players have come through so much controversy this season - the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo, the controversial appointment of Rafa Benitez and all the anger in the crowd - to end the season positively?

ANSWER) "One thing you say about the club and the players here is we're mentally very strong. We've dealt with ups and downs throughout our time, season after season here. And we'll always remain together. You talk about togetherness but when you go 2-0 down at Man United - as we did in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in the first tie - then you see the real team spirit. Nine times out of ten other teams would throw the towel in; we went the other way and kicked on and really went for it. Now we've beaten them in the replay and we want to finish the job at Wembley."

QUESTION) It seems a bit strange at Chelsea with Rafa Benitez appointed only as an interim manager - everyone knows he's leaving in June. Has that made it weird or difficult for the players?

ANSWER) "No. We knew that from the start. The manager said that from the start as well. We'll work hard under him and we'll fight for this football club. Managers will come and go, players will come and go; but the one thing that will always remain is the fans. We need to cement what Chelsea Football Club is about year after year; and when we sign new players we need to show them that winning trophies is a must year after year. Whether there are managers or players coming in, that's the characteristic of this football club. That's why this FA Cup run is so important too. It's what Chelsea is about."

QUESTION) You are Chelsea through and through; do you feel an extra responsibility to make sure club wins something this year?

ANSWER) "One hundred per cent. I will do anything for this football club. We all want to win things. Managers will come and go, players will come and go; and we must give these fans something to cheer and fight for. We've still in the Europa League, we're still in the FA Cup. The league realistically we don't have a chance of winning but we have to fight for a Champions League spot because we know how much it means to the owner and the fans; and they are the most important thing to me."
