support' despite a run of just two wins in eight Premier Leaguegames
and a home defeat to Southampton on SaturdayChelseahave offered
managerJose Mourinhoand his squad a vote of confidence following their
3-1 defeat at home to Southampton in the Premier League on
Saturday.The Blues claimed the Premier League title last season but
have won just two of their first eight games of the 2015-16 campaign
and sit 16th in the table.Mourinho insisted after the defeat to
Southampton that he would only walk away from Chelsea if the players
no longer trusted him, and the club has released a statement offering
their public backing to the Portuguese.The statement reads: "The club
wants to make it clear that Jose continues to have our fullsupport."As
Jose has said himself, results have not been good enough and the
team's performances must improve. However, we believe that we have the
right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad
with which to do it."Prior to the defeat to Southampton, Mourinho
described Chelsea's slump as the worst period of his career.But the
Chelsea boss displayed his defiance in the face of criticism following
the shock loss at Stamford Bridge."If the club sacks me, they sack the
best manager this club had," he told reporters. "And secondly, the
message is again the message of bad results. The manager is guilty.
This is the message, not just these players, the other ones before,
they got [the message] during a decade."This is a moment for everybody
to assume their responsibilities. To stick together. This is what I
want."
