Mourinho amazed as Chelsea fans rise to hail their Special One

LONDON, Chelsea now have the ideal platform to relaunch their season and banish all talk of manager Jose Mourinho’s departure after their 2-1 home win over Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Kyiv defender Aleksandar Dragovic netted at the wrong end in the first half for the Ukrainians before firing past Asmir Begovic with 13 minutes to play.
The Premier League champions have lost six of their opening 11 domestic fixtures and defeat at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night would have put the club’s Champions League hopes – and the manager’s future – in jeopardy.
“In the good moments you see the street full of people celebrating with the bus”. “Probably they are bullied by other kids from teams that are winning matches”.
Chelsea fans sang their Mourinho’s name throughout the win over Dynamo, a unified display of support for the man who has brought the Premier League title to Stamford Bridge three times.
“The only thing I can say is that until my last day at the club, four years, ten years, 15 years, doesn’t matter how long I stay here, I will give everything to them”.
“I don’t think [the media] has much effect on the players because the manager tells us what to do and everyone believes in the manager and we are doing what he tells us.”
Chelsea will progress to the competition’s knockout stage should they beat Maccabi Tel-Aviv in Israel in their next Champions League fixture on 24 November and Dynamo fail to beat Porto.
Jose Mourinho paid tribute to the fans who demanded he is kept on at Chelsea. When the hard moment arrives, face the hard moment, don’t crumble.
“I don’t know how to thank them”. We had that good reaction against Stoke in the League Cup and today we conceded that goal with 15 minutes to go. I think it’s fundamentally what they showed, passion for the club. In the last part of the game the normal tendency is that if the game went on for another five or 10 minutes we would score more goals because the game was open. It was incredible. The club should be proud of their fans.
