Gallery: Willian strike puts Chelsea on course for qualification, and brings
Jose Mourinho has hailed Chelsea’s 2-1 Champions league victory over Dynamo Kyiv as a “big relief” after Willian starred for the Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Mourinho was visibly moved by the reaction of the Chelsea fans, who chanted “stand up for the Special One” and sang his name at regular intervals through the game. And, probably, they want to say: ‘All of you, let him work.
The dramatic win propelled Chelsea into second place in Group G with two games left to play, but it was the pressure release on Mourinho that altered the mood around the club in an instant. It was fantastic really.
The Blues eased to a 2-1 victory over Dynamo Kyiv at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night after Willian netted an 83rd-minute free-kick to secure their first win in five games in all competitions.
The agent of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says there is no chance of him quitting the Premier League club.
“I keep saying numerous players are coming to their normal levels, you can feel as a team when the negative moment comes and the team can take a little bit”, he told BT Sport.
“Today, that was flawless. We conceded a goal and the team emerged”. But mentally, considering what people read and listen to, I don’t know how to thank them.
“It is my daughter’s 19th birthday and if I don’t see her from the bench I don’t see her all day”, said Mourinho.
The former West Ham United and Watford manager is now in charge of Qatari outfit Al Arabi and revealed his dreams when speaking to a organisation’s website for the 2022 World Cup. This Dynamo is much better than the one I played with Inter in 2010. “We knew we needed to fight from the very beginning to win the game“.
“The difference today was that we had confidence in the negative moment“.
“It is not comparable with this because it comes in a moment where the results are not good, it comes in a moment where the media are asking for my end. But I think the team was strong mentally and the team kept trying and I am happy with that”. It was unbelievable…The club has to be very proud of the fans.
