Juan Mata has come out and voiced his support in favour of Andre Villas Boas at Chelsea in his latest interview to the press. Chelsea’s manager is under pressure to turn things around in both the UEFA Champions League as well as
the English Premier League. The Spanish midfielder who was transferred to Chelsea in the summer transfer window from Valencia will face his former club in mid-week, in a match that Chelsea need to win in order to go past the group stages of the European Cup.
The Blues aren’t doing that well in the English Premier League either as they have only won once in their past three home fixtures. Their two losses came against fellow title contenders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. With Roman Abramovich’s
record of firing managers at Chelsea, the pressure is now on Villas Boas to make things happen at Stamford Bridge if he wants to retain his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
Mata said in his latest interview, "It's never easy to have such negative results, but we all have a lot of faith in ourselves as a team. We have a lot of faith in our coach and in the quality of the squad. We had a team meeting
last week simply to reiterate that we are all together and that we are heading in the same direction and we showed that against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952.”
He added that the current crop of players at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are united and have known that they are destined for success in the future as they go forward. He also stated that it is important for Chelsea to stay strong at the moment in
face of pressure.
Chelsea won their last league fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a convincing manner but the real test now awaits in mid-week when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 come to visit Stamford Bridge. Odds are that if Chelsea fail to win against the
Spanish underdogs then their manager might be told that he is surplus to requirements at the club. However a win against Valencia will do a lot to alleviate pressure off Chelsea and their under fire manager.
