Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel insists their problems this season are not down to owner Roman Abramovich.

The Nigerian insists the players are in tune with Abramovich's ambitions.

Obi Mikel declared: "It has been a difficult season as a player.

"You can question the owner but the owner wants results and he wants to win trophies.

"If things are not right, it is his money and his team so he has the right to change things.

"Tomorrow, if he says he wants to get rid of us players and wants to get new ones, we will respect him. It is his money and his business."
