Chelsea midfielder Oscar has accepted backseat role in recent months.
The midfielder appears to have been managed slightly differently, being substituted or named as a substitute more often. It is a situation he is comfortable with.
He told chelseafc.com: "Last season I played so many games and it has been the same this season as well. Sometimes it is better to be on the bench and to play the second half.
"If I start and I play 70 minutes before being changed that's also okay because of the amount of games I have played.
"When I play I know I can play well and with intensity because I have played a little less."
