You need to be in the right way with the fans, with the team. The team need to translate the idea of the fans that [they] can trust of course both ways.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am not talking about the mentality of the club, of the badge, about the fans because Chelsea is about victories and strong mentality.
