Jose Mourinho believes that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich
still thinks he is the best man to fill the role as the club's
manager.
The Blues have lost eight times in 15 Premier League games
this season and were beaten 1-0 at home by AFC Bournemouth
last Saturday.
Mourinho's side face a crunch Champions League clash with
Porto at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, where a defeat could
send them out.
The Portuguese has come under intense scrutiny throughout
this season, but feels Abramovich is not going to make changes
on a whim.
"I think I have done enough good things at the club for the
owner to know the quality I have," he told his pre-match media
conference on Tuesday.
"I don't think the owner is a person to change with the wind. I
know the wind is really strong because of the results in the
Premier League, but I also know he feels I am best for the club.
"The owner showed belief in me twice, first when he brought me
back to the club and second when he gave me a new contract.
He knows who I am, what I give to the club.
"You can read these bad results and blame everything on the
manager. You can look at the results and look to players with
performances below acceptable. You can look to unlucky
decisions we have been having.
"You can look to every direction and decide that it is not just one
man's responsibility."
Mourinho had previously been asked whether he would still be in
his position if Chelsea suffered defeat to Porto and exited the
Champions League.
He replied: "There are no ifs. You are a pessimistic guy, I am an
optimistic guy."
