"WE HAVE TO SHOW THE FANS THEY CAN BELIEVE IN US!"

It's has been nice to hear a player come out and speak of the Chelsea fans late on Friday and someone who we wouldn't normally hear alot from during the course of the season. That person has been Branislav Ivanovic.

Knowing that this is the first time in six seasons that Chelsea haven't won something during the course of a season, Ivanovic was quick to point out that the players realise they need to put in a good performance on Sunday against Newcastle and to thank the fans.

He said:

"I think our fans deserve to have a good game from us. Unfortunately, we didn't win a trophy this season and now we have to show the fans they can believe in us for next year. We have to say 'thank you' with this game to our fans because they deserve it.

It is a difficult moment when you know you don't have any chance but it is important that we are strong and ready for this game. We are not expecting an easy game because Newcastle will want to show they are a good team and please their fans, so we have to be ready 100%.

It's very important we finish as high as we can, which looks like it will be second. Everyone is looking at strong teams and, after a not successful year, we have to be strong, show character and be really powerful.

Next season for us starts with this game against Newcastle and we have to start everything again and be better so we can challenge for the title again."
