Benitez reveals: I have Chelsea fans who support me!

Rafael Benitez suggests all Chelsea fans are not against him as he continues to work against the grain at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard has been heavily criticised by Blues supporters since he took over from Roberto Di Matteo in November and despite ruling out a permanent position at the Southwest London club, he does feel he has a little bit of support from some of the Bridge faithful.

"I have to say the fans are very good to me in the street," he told Marca.

"Many Blues fans stop me and tell me to keep on working and not to listen to the critics.

"I have a lot more day-to-day support than is shown."
