SundayChelsea 0 - 0 Man CityTottenham 3 - 1 West Ham Southampton 2-0 NewcastleLONDON – Rafael Benitez insists he will silence the hostility from Chelsea’s fans after he received an angry welcome before and during his first game in charge.Benitez was booed when he appeared in the technical area and was subjected to abusive chants during the goalless draw with Manchester City."When fans are singing for me or against me I don’t care. I want to change the perception,” he said "How will I do it? By working hard, doing my best and winning games.”Benitez is certain he will reverse the opinion of Chelsea’s supporters, who also chanted their support for Roberto Di Matteo, who was dismissed by owner Roman Abramovich only six months after winning the FA Cup and Champions League."I said I will concentrate on the game and will not pay attention to anything but the performances,” he said."I have been here in England for eight years and I’ve heard a lot of things. They will see that I am a professional and I will try to do my job to the best I can. "I am sure we will win games and we will win games together.”Benitez brushed off banners reading "Rafa Out”, by saying: "How many people do you need to write a banner? Maybe one and two to hold it up.
