Mata backs Chelsea boss Villas-Boas

Spanish midfielder Juan Mata revealed that despite huge pressure on Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas, the club and the players are fully behind the 34 year old Chelsea boss.

Mata played a starring role in the 3-0 victory over Wolves at the weekend, with Mata scoring a goal and making the other two.


"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," Mata said.


"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 Wolves.


"The group has always been very united, and we have always been sure that the secret in enjoying more success as we go forward, in getting out of this moment, has been to stay strong and stay together."
