Chelsea
midfielder Willian has spoken of his desire to score more goals,
admitting that it is something manager Jose Mourinho has asked him to
improve.
The 26-year-old joined Chelsea in August 2013, but has only scored five goals in his 56 appearances so far.
Speaking
to Chelsea FC Magazine, he said: 'One thing I have in my mind is to
score more goals - I am desperate. Mr Mourinho has told me this before.
He knows, and I know, that I should get more goals.

The front cover of the Chelsea FC magazine depicts a reflective Willian
'I'm
very happy with my all-round game and my form so far this season, but
I'll be a lot happier if I am scoring more goals. That would be good for
the team as well.'
Having
arrived in London from stints in the Ukrainian and Russian top
divisions at Shakhtar Donetsk and Anzhi respectively, the Brazilian
admits that he was expecting the drastic change of pace the Premier
League involves.
'(The
intensity) was something I was prepared for when I signed for Chelsea
because I could see in the games I watched on television just how
intense the matches are in this country.
'I
knew I needed to be ready to put in a lot hard work. If I was going to
hold a place in the team, then I would have to run my heart out in every
single match I play.'
Willian
has impressed in his time at Stamford Bridge so far, and has appeared
in 10 of Chelsea's 11 Premier League matches this season.
As
with many Brazilians, Willian says he is 'feeling his vibe' at
Chelsea... a happy-go-lucky personality, always smiling, always happy.
'I
admit that I've always been a bit shy,' Willian continues. 'That's my
character - I'm a shy guy - but when I'm with the guys here, I like to
play games and joke around, especially with the other Brazilians.
'I'm
feeling my vibe. I try to be happy at all times. I like to smile a lot
and I always try to be happy, joking around and stuff.'
