Chelsea's Juan Mata backs Rafael Benitez to help the club turn around their recent poor form.

Juan Mata has insisted that the entire Chelsea squad have faith that new manager Rafael Benitez can reverse the club's current run of form.

The Blues are without a win from their last six matches in all competitions - three of which have been under the guidance of former Liverpool boss Benitez.

However, 24-year-old attacker Mata believes that his fellow Spaniard possesses enough managerial experience to help the players rediscover the winning touch that has deserted them recently.

"Yes, we have trust in him. Rafa wants the best for the team and if we want to win the Premier League, the FIFA World Clup Cup or other competitions, we have to be together," he told reporters.

"He is a very experienced manager and is trying to help us and we are trying to help him. We are working in a different way. We are always with the ball in training, plus we are trying to change tactical things."

Tomorrow evening Chelsea must defeat Danish side Nordsjaelland to stand any chance of reaching the last 16 of this season's Champions League.
