Ramires urges Chelsea to have patience with Villas-Boas

Chelsea midfielder Ramires defends Andre Villas-Boas and believes the club should remain patient with the manager.

Ramires has backed under-pressure Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas and believes that owner Roman Abramovich should remain patient.

The Brazilian midfielder celebrated with his manager after opening the scoring during Chelsea's 2-1 win over Wolves on Monday.

Ramires said: "If Andre leaves, someone else will come - and if it keeps going on like that, we won't get anywhere.

"This is all part of the period of adaptation. We're trying to do what he wants but, unfortunately, there are times when we won't win."

Villas-Boas has been under pressue for most of the campaign as the West London club have failed to keep up with both Manchester clubs in the league.

"We're not playing badly. We have to go on the pitch with a seriousness and desire to win until the end," Ramires added.

Ramires signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2010 in a £18m move from Portuguese club Benfica.
