Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: ‘Fans were unbelievable’

Willian has four goals for the Blues this season, all from free-kicks.

The victory secured by Willian’s brilliant goal moves Chelsea closer to qualifying for the last 16 of the tournament they won in 2012. 15 minutes to go, to bring Hazard and Pedro into the game I think the team feels confident of that because they are two players capable of turning the game around.

After leading through a Aleksandar Dragovic own goal, Chelsea were pegged back with little over 15 minutes remaining when the Kiev defender made amends for his earlier error.

“The most important thing is to not finish first but to finish second but we can still finish first”. I am convinced we will qualify – I think first. “I can look back and see she is there”. On the day she was born I had a match and wasn’t there.

“I prefer the team obviously but what they [the fans] did for me is not normal, “Mourinho said”. I already told Rebrov and Sheva because they were here together. “We have an important game against Dynamo, but I repeat it’s not a game we have to win like a knockout match”. The negative moment is always arriving for us. ‘Maybe we are not getting the luck this season; every time they (our opponents) shoot, they score.

“The Dynamo Kiev game is not even a game we have to win”.

“If I can do that, and collectively we can all do that, we’re going to be in a much better position”.

The 2015 UEFA Champions League schedule is moving forward with a few group stages rematches today. “Today it came in a moment when the results are not good. They read blogs, and it’s quite unbelievable what they tried to say”. And, probably, they want to say: ‘All of you, let him work. It was a fantastic feeling.

The 2-1 win takes Mourinho’s side to second in Group G but with six domestic league losses in 11 games and a stadium ban coming up for their next outing at Stoke, the pressure hasn’t abated.

Mourinho was once again full of praise and kind words for the Chelsea fans. It came in a moment when you (reporters) are asking for my end.
