Jose Mourinho Thanks Chelsea Fans For Support

“I think it’s an awesome feeling for the club to know that the fans are in a good moment”, Mourinho said after the game.

And despite the poor results, the Stamford Bridge crowd have not yet turned on Jose Mourinho and his players and it has led the Portuguese boss to compare Chelsea’s home ground to Anfield and their supporters. From a metal point of view it was important to have a reaction to a negative moment. We always play to win but we have been under a bad form.

Chelsea’s misery looked like continuing after Dynamo Kiev netted a 76th-minute equaliser. The Austrian did, however, redeem himself, by equalising in the 78th minute.

They visit Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv in their penultimate match, before rounding off the group stage by hosting Mourinho’s former club Porto.

The adulation poured down from the stands on the self-proclaimed Special One, whose position still appears perilous, and his Chelsea side eked out an unconvincing victory to ease the pressure a little.

“Especially in a league like the Premier League, where the depth is second to none in the whole world in terms of the team that can beat you, it’s a battle every week”.

With his future seemingly on the line, Mourinho had gambled by dropping Eden Hazard, English football’s reigning player of the year. In other matches we’ve had good periods and played well, but when the negative moment arrived the team felt it too much and it was hard to emerge again.

The victory meant it was a calmer Mourinho who was watched from just behind the bench by his family, including daughter Matilde on her 19th birthday.
