Struggling Chelsea beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1
The message from fans was emphatic as Chelsea closed in on victory against Dynamo Kiev.
He is the winger whose wonder goal eased the pressure on Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge in midweek.
Chelsea’s leading scorer in all competitions this season with five goals, Willian struck the victor as Mourinho’s side beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1 in the Champions League in midweek.
Whether or not Mourinho will be given the time to act on Dante’s wishes remains to be seen.
“By the mental point of view it was important, a reaction to a negative moment”. The negative moment is always arriving for us.
The scoring got started in the 34th minute when Willian’s cross was redirected by defender Aleksandar Dragovic for an own goal.
However, Mark Hughes’ side have already beaten the Blues in the League Cup, albeit on penalties, this season which will make Chelsea’s aim of trying to secure just their fourth victory of the current Premier League campaign all the more tricky. Dynamo travel to Porto and then finish at home with Maccabi Tel-Aviv. And the ex Shakhtar wide man feels momentum is slowly coming back for his team, telling the official Chelsea website, “I think we played well but we had a hard moment during part of the second half”, said the Brazilian. It comes in a moment where you are asking for my “end”. The fans watch television.
“They tried to say: ‘We want you here.’ And, probably, they want to say: ‘All of you, let him work”.
“The win is a big relief”, said Mourinho, whose position had come under scrutiny following a run of one win in eight matches.
Willian tells Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho that he can be the Blues’ goalscoring hero as his star-studded teammates continue to shy away from the limelight. “He has been playing very well for a long time”.
“Because the day she was born I had a match and I was not there, at least when she was 19 I could give a look back and see her there”.
Mourinho’s assistants Steve Holland and Rui Faria were overseeing things from the touchline as Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic settled Saturday’s game with a 53rd-minute volley.
