Willian: At Chelsea, I must kill the lion every day

Willian accepts he must be at his best every day to make it with Chelsea.

The Brazilian produced arguably his best performance of the season to date during Saturday's 3-0 win against Aston Villa.

"I think I have to prove myself on a daily basis while I'm at Chelsea, kill a lion each time, and I'm dedicated to that mission, to give my best," he told chelseafc.com.

"The expression (kill a lion) comes from Brazil; when I started playing my dad would use it all the time as a way of instilling confidence in me and showing that if you work hard every day results will occur."
