Denis Zakaria believes he and his Chelsea teammates have showcased they are fighting for under-pressure head coach Graham Potter ahead of tomorrow (Tuesday) night's pivotal Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Speculation mounted last week that Potter's position was under increasing threat amid a dismal run of form. Yet the 47-year-old remains in charge and the mood around Stamford Bridge was lifted – albeit minimally – by Chelsea securing a hard-fought victory over Leeds United on Saturday.
The confidence-boosting win was much needed ahead of the visit of Dortmund. The German giants, who currently sit second in the Bundesliga, hold a 1-0 aggregate lead from the first leg. The onus will very much be on Potter's side to produce a memorable European comeback.
