John Terry said the FA Cup “means an awful lot” to the Chelsea players, but believes some foreign players underestimate the competition.

The Chelsea captain was speaking following Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Wolves, and stressed that the FA Cup means a lot to the Chelsea dressing room as a competition, but claimed that some foreign players perhaps underestimate the FA Cup.

“The FA Cup is part of the club’s history. I’ve won it five times personally and Cesc Fabregas knows what it’s all about.” said Terry, having captained Chelsea during the game.

 “For us it means an awful lot – we’ve grown up with it – and we’ve seen with the results today [Saturday] that the foreign guys don’t really understand because in other countries that doesn’t happen.

“Both sets of fans were different class and wherever you go it’s always difficult.”

“The team are playing well and it’s difficult to get back in but when we get our opportunities it’s important that we play well.

“Cesc has been brilliant all season and he’s unlucky not to be playing. All we can do is be there for the ones that are playing and pushing them and letting the manager know that we are available.”

Fabregas praised the team spirit that has been at the heart of Chelsea’s revival this season, and said he was working hard in training to force Conte’s hand.

He said: “It’s a great group with great togetherness, and maybe because we’re not in the Champions League there are more opportunities for other players to play.

“We’re only playing once a week and it’s easier to stay fitter. We’re training like we’re 18 again because we want to play, and that’s good for everyone else.”
