Chelsea’s Brazilian playmaker Oscar says that Chelsea have restored their confidence now after a disastrous start to the season saw them slide towards the relegation zone. But they are now unbeaten in the league since Guus Hiidink took over from Jose Mourinho as interim manager at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea continued their fine form by coming from behind to win 2-1 at Southampton on Saturday. Oscar, who came on as a first half substitute for the injured Pedro at St. Mary’s, says the Blues are playing at the top of their confidence again.
"Because we have started to win the games, the confidence comes now," the Brazil international told Sky Sports. “When you lose a lot of games, like at the start of the season, we don"t have confidence.
“Now we play well, we start to win the games and every player has a lot of confidence. It"s difficult because every season we play to win the titles and now we try to go up the table."
“I think everyone is very happy because today is a difficult game and we don"t start the game well," he said. Southampton scored the first goal but we come to the second half and play well and score two goals.
“We have to control the game and [we made] one mistake, but you need to come to the second half and try to win the game. We had a little bit of luck but we played well and we deserved this."
