Captain John Terry insists Chelsea's season is very much still alive following the 2-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen.
The Blues skipper demanded a performance from his team ahead of their last 16 clash with Copenhagen and they made no mistake with a 2-0 success.Now Terry admits the result in Denmark could kick-start Chelsea's season and he insists there is still a lot to play for.
"It is a good lift, winning does that and you can see the buzz in the dressing room," he told Sky Sports News.
"It is important we continue this run, this could be the start of it.
"The manager said we are not dead yet and there are a number of games to be played and points to play for and we are not dead yet."
Nicolas Anelka was the Blues' hero as he showed strike partners Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres where the back of the net is with both goals.
"It is difficult for strikers at the minute because there is so much competition, but credit to them," continued Terry.
"Didier when he came caused a lot of trouble. They seem to be clicking and playing well, but it takes a few weeks for the guys to settle in and hopefully this is the start of a good partnership."
