Chelsea captain John Terry admits Carlo Ancelotti's halftime teamtalk inspired them to victory in yesterday's FA Cup semifinal against Aston Villa.

Terry admits that Villa had applied most of the pressure in the opening 45 minutes and Chelsea needed to improve considerably after the break.

"I thought they pressed us really well and stopped us from playing, but in the first half we didn't really get out the stalls," Terry told Sky Sports News.

"We were disappointed with that but we got a bit of a rollicking at half-time and came out and played much better."
