Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino was asked about his supporters' feelings towards him.
The Argentine has not always had the best relationship with the Stamford Bridge crowd since taking charge in the summer.
After a 4-2 FA Cup win over Leicester City that took them into the semi finals, Pochettino was asked if the fans trusted him.
He then stated: “You need to ask, I think you have maybe a better opportunity to talk with the people, all the fans, you know that I saw in the on the street, they always show my, the support of them.
“But of course, if we are playing and we concede a goal its 2-2 like this or they feel sometimes the emotion because they are disappointed, but it's normal that they show the, that they are not agree with some of course decision or because it's the feeling.
“But as I think we have very clever fans that they realize of the situation and then when they are on the street, you know, I was open to talk with them and they show the support."
On the fan reaction to him taking off Mykhailo Muydrk instead of Raheem Sterling, he finished: “No. That is why I made the decision. I am not here to do what the people want. Also, I am not stupid. I am not expressed to do this to go again.
“You know, I think for me, I saw Mudryk and we analyze and he was tired, he was doing some stretching and we thought that maybe he'd not finish the game and then we will decide, you know, to go for first for Mudryk and then for Raheem.
“That is because we need to see everything we are professional and we want to win but of course, complete understand the situation. That doesn't mean that I agree.
“But look, we are going to support Mykhailo, we are going to support Raheem and we are going to support all the players that are in the squad that is big because in the program, you, you don't have the program here that today… [Asks for the matchday program and holds it up].
“People say, 'Oh big squad.' But did you see the names [points to the names at the end of the list] under 18, under 18, under 18, under 18, under 21, under 21, under 21.
“And sometimes people you can confuse, you know, 'Big squad.' You know why we use too many and we put here because we use this guy few minutes in Carabao Cup, in the FA Cup or in Premier League because of the circumstance.
“It's only, no, sometimes people want to talk like I want to be nice on we have yes, because we are not going to hide nothing.
“Big squad is long because we had too many in player on the first team and we should use all the kids that are helping us. For second time in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Fa Cup in Wembley.
“That is always when I arrive to England, at Southampton they say 'No, we need to go to Wembley.'
“'We need to go to Wembley.' Southampton and Tottenham, 'We need to go to Wembley to go to and now look in, in nine months in the two different competition, we got Wembley and we need to enjoy and we need to trust more.
“I really believe I am a person, very positive person. I really believe in our fans. I really believe in the club and really believe the most important in the staff that we have today because all the staff is, you know, is fantastic and of course in our player, young, but I am ensuring a lot trying to help them to achieve what they, they won and of course, altogether we will succeed. No doubt."
