After London club Chelsea began to drop points in the English Premier League and fell six points behind the leader Manchester United, reports of a crisis affecting the Blues started to emerge. Additionally, rumors started spreading in England that due to disagreements with owner Roman Abramovich, coach Jose Mourinho might leave the team.
However, Chelsea's executive director Peter Kenyon quickly stated that there is no crisis in the club.
"Let's look at what we have achieved at the moment. We are second in the English championship and are only six points behind the leaders, and the toughest part is still ahead. We finished first in one of the toughest Champions League groups. We have already reached the semi-finals in the English League Cup, and in the FA Cup we have reached the third round," - P. Kenyon listed Chelsea's achievements this season.
"There is no reason to worry. A six-point gap is not much, and we can close it. This is not a crisis, as the end of the season is still far away. We are in a good position and have a strong team," - said the executive director of Chelsea.
Over the past weekend, Chelsea crushed the 4th league team Macclesfield 6-1 in the 3rd round of the English FA Cup, and on Wednesday they will face another 4th league club Wycombe in the League Cup semi-finals.
