Chelsea interim boss Rafa Benitez believes he is slowly beginning to win over the fans at Stamford Bridge.
Benitez's appointment was met by a revolt by a large section of Chelsea supporters with fans angry at the departure of the popular Roberto Di Matteo.
Former Liverpool chief Benitez has revealed he spoke to several fans at the staff Christmas party earlier this week and he believes he is now changing their opinions of him after guiding them to four wins in their last five games.
"I was just 15 minutes at the party and talking with people and everybody was very, very positive," said Benitez.
"I said at the beginning that we have to win together, so it will be easier always if the fans are behind the team and supporting the team and we don't have any distraction.
"That is the way, for me, to carry on, trying to play good football and winning games, and I'm sure that they will appreciate this."

Academy coach Mick O'Brien, a former player with Torquay, is alleged to have struck Everton Ladies' second-choice goalkeeper Danielle Hill outside the Blue Bar in the city's Albert Dock at a club Christmas party last Sunday
However, it is understood there are conflicting reports over who threw the first punch and both have been suspended while the matter is looked into. Everton are not commenting on the allegations.
Police have confirmed they have received a complaint which they are currently investigating.
"Merseyside Police can confirm an investigation is under way following the assault of a 24-year-old woman in Liverpool city centre on Sunday, December 16," said a statement.
"The incident occurred near to the entrance of the Blue Bar.
"An investigation into the full circumstances of the incident is ongoing."
The Belgian international starts a three-match ban on Saturday for head-butting Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross during last week's 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Fellaini has been a talismanic presence in midfield as Everton have enjoyed a strong first half of the season, and Moyes fears the club could suffer from his absence.
"I'm not sure [how we will cope]," he said. "We will find out. That is why it was a big miss to lose him. We will have to try and find solutions, but we don't have loads of solutions to fix it. People shouldn't be surprised if we aren't able to solve it."
Moyes revealed he has spoken to Fellaini about his conduct before and has left the 25-year-old in no doubt that he has let the club down with his latest misdemeanour.
"You can't do what he has done," he added. "He knows he has done wrong - 100 per cent.
"I have spoken to him a few times about it. I said at the time that I felt he had let us down and that hasn't changed. He let a lot of people down."
Moyes added: "We needed him. This is a busy time where you pick up injuries and suspensions. Things will happen - you may get a sending off.
"He is a good boy, a good lad. [But] he is aware that he has got it wrong."
Moyes is also sweating over the availability of another Belgian, winger Kevin Mirallas.
The 25-year-old has travelled to Germany for a consultation on a recurring hamstring problem and the Everton boss admits he is concerned about his ?6m signing's long-term fitness.
"I am worried, yes, especially when you are a quick, fleet-footed player like he is," he said.
"What we are trying to do is find a way of getting people back quicker, but sometimes with these injuries, you have to give them a bit of time and TLC."
