Ancelotti confident Chelsea England players can handle jeers

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has rubbished claims his England World Cup players will be rattled by boos at opposition stadiums.

Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and John Terry all face a backlash from fans following their South African flop.

"They can boo,' said Ancelotti, who believes that his players will simply shrug it off. "Ashley does not have a problem with someone doing this. Mentally, John Terry and Ash are top players. They have fantastic characters. If you don't have a fantastic character, you're not a top player. Terry showed fantastic behaviour on the pitch last year. He has never been nervous or without motivation.

"He has always been focused. He has fantastic preparation. I don't think that we'll have a problem this season. He has very good control of his emotions."
