Mikel Obi Says Chelsea Players Are Behind Mourinho

 John Obi Mikel Nigerian international and Chelsea midfielder has said that the players are strongly standing behind their embattled coach and still believe that he can turn things around.

The player who played a part in the 1-3 loss to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday said, "We are right behind the manager. There's no doubt about it.
"In training we work very hard. If anyone can turn this around, we definitely think Mourinho is the one.

"Last year we were champions. We won two trophies. Jose knows this club more than any other manager. He's the most successful manager in the club's history.

"I definitely think that, if anything is wrong, if anything can be fixed, he is the one."

According to Mikel who spoke to reporters after the match, there is no one out there that is going to come in and fix what is going on, adding, "If you tell the team that we are not giving 100 per cent then there is the doubt, but we are giving 100 per cent, we are playing for the manager, we are right behind him.

"He has come out a few times and said the players are not giving 100 per cent and then you look at the next few games, the players come out and play better.

"He is doing everything that needs to be done. It’s just that right now things aren’t going well, so everyone outside wants him to go. I don’t think it’s the right way to go.

"I think that inside that dressing room we definitely believe he is the man to change things. He knows this club in and out. He knows what’s wrong and it’s just a matter of time before results start coming."
