Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has tipped England centre-back John Terry to have a big impact on this summer's World Cup.[LNB] Terry became the first Blues skipper to lead his side to the domestic double on Saturday after a bizarre 1-0 win over Portsmouth at Wembley.[LNB]The smile on Terry's face as he lifted the trophy with Frank Lampard at the end contrasted sharply with the sadness he felt at losing the England captaincy in the wake of the allegations about his private life.[LNB]Plenty of questions have been raised about Terry's ability to withstand the pressure yet over the last few weeks, as Chelsea began the surge that resulted in a domestic dominance only six other clubs have ever experienced, the 29-year-old seems to have got his old swagger back.[LNB]And, after watching an ultra-composed performance from his leader, Ancelotti is now looking forward to seeing more of the same in South Africa.[LNB]"John Terry played well all year," said Ancelotti.[LNB]"Maybe he had some difficult moments but he was able to keep his private problems outside the training ground.[LNB]"He finished the season very well.[LNB]"He is focused and fit and I think he will have a fantastic World Cup for England."
