Ancelotti urges his Chelsea players to forget the World Cup

None of the members of Chelsea's squad had a tournament to cherish - in fact most returned from South Africa with their spirits dented, none more so than the embarrassed English and French contingents.

"I think we have to put our minds back to the end of last season," said Ancelotti as he welcomed the last of his international players back to Cobham last week. "Our season was very good and we had a lot of celebration, and now we have to rediscover that. The World Cup was a different story for them and we have to create a good atmosphere now."
