Essien: I Don�t Mind Playing Anywhere For Chelsea

Ghana international Michael Essien has stated that he does not mind playing anywhere in his return to Chelsea under Jose Mourinho. Essien was reduced to a bench warmer under Chelsea�s double-winning coach Roberto Di Mateo after a serious knee injury, but was offered a lifeline at Real Madrid by then manager Mourinho which has seen him bounce back. �The Bison� opined he is ready to feature anywhere in the Blues setup after having played at the back and sometimes midfield at Santiago Bernabeu. �I don�t mind playing anywhere for Chelsea under Jose Mourinho,� Essien told Goal. �I am always positive and I will work hard and make myself always available for him.� �Where I play doesn�t matter just put me on the pitch and I will do the business for the club. I don�t have much to prove. I have done it all, so I just go out there, work hard and win games.� Mourinho brought Essien to Chelsea in a 24.4 million Pounds deal from Lyon during his first stint at the Stamford Bridge and the Ghanaian quickly became a key part in his setup. Though a natural midfielder, Essien has played every position on the pitch under �The Special One� except goalkeeping and he has excelled due to his versatility.
