Alex admits Chelsea difficultiesChelsea fullback Alex has admitted that the team struggled to overcome the exit of former boss Jose Mourinho but are now firing again.
He said: "It was very difficult.
"There was great confusion for everybody. We were all very used to Mourinho and he was a great man who helped me a great deal.
"Obviously he spoke Portuguese and helped me to adapt my game but Avram Grant is also very helpful and ready to talk, it's just different.
"There was a great deal of confusion and it did make a difference.
"We lost points, particularly at home with some draws, but gradually we are creeping up and keeping in touch with the leaders, which is the most important thing.
"We are all looking to improve every day in training and games, and especially at home, because losing points is not good enough.
"Of course we have problems with injuries but everybody who is fit is always looking to improve."
