Willian: ‘I can be Chelsea’s hero’
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.
Chelsea’s second win in nine games provided a few much-needed relief for the beleaguered Portuguese coach, whose position at Stamford Bridge has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks.
“I think it is an incredible feeling for the club to know the fans are in a good moment and to see the streets full of people celebrating with a buzz”, he said. Today came in a moment where the results have not been good.
Willian feels Chelsea are slowly getting back on track after a hard start to the season and is determined to keep improving.
Chelsea fans show their support for their manager during the Champions League match on Wednesday night against Dynamo Kyiv at Stamford Bridge. “I was impressed. With Chelsea, I think this is my moment“.
Mourinho responded by bringing on Pedro and Eden Hazard, and Chelsea charged forward once again; with Willian finally converting from a free-kick in the 83rd minute to send The Blues ahead for the second and final time.
The under-fire manager has seen his squad go from Premier League champs last season to out of the Capital One Cup and just four points clear of the relegation zone in a span of several months.
This confidence boost for Chelsea and particularly Jose Mourinho might be short lived since they face Stoke City away at the Britannia stadium on Saturday, Nov, 7, 2015. It was awesome. The club should be proud of their fans.
“This was flawless because we conceded a goal with 15 minutes or so left and the team emerged”.
Mourinho said: “He is playing very well”.
They knew a draw would be acceptable but they wanted to win.
“We were confident in the negative moment because the negative moment is always arriving for us and in many different ways in the game“.
“This is probably the first time he’s suffered a run this in his career, but it’s also the longest he’s ever been at one club, so I would give him time to make it right at Chelsea“.
