# Zouma: We’re getting there slowly

Chelsea defender, Kurt Zouma has been encouraged by the Blues’ recent run of form under the new manager, Guus Hiddink.

Speaking on French football show, [Canal Football Club](https://www.canalplus.fr/c-sport/c-football/c-ligue-1/pid6219-canal-football-club.html?vid=1352002), Zouma believes Chelsea are slowly getting back to their best.

The defender said:

> We haven’t lost in 2016. So things are going well. We’re getting there slowly. We’re drawing games so it’s a little difficult.

He added:

> But we’re better than at the start of the season. We’re losing fewer matches so it’s encouraging for the rest of the campaign. Now I hope we can get a run going and win a lot of matches.

Under Hiddink, Zouma has been a key part of Chelsea’s success, making an impression at the heart of the Chelsea defence. Hiddink [believes](https://readchelsea.com/2016/01/18/hiddink-happy-youngsters-progression/) that the player is making good progression this season.

Chelsea have failed to taste defeat since Jose Mourinho’s departure from the club in all competitions.

The 21-year-old believes that team spirit has been key for Chelsea, and that spirit shown through during Chelsea’s dramatic comeback against Everton on Saturday. John Terry scored a last minute equaliser to get a point from the game at Stamford Bridge.

Zouma looked ahead to Chelsea’s Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, who look set to be heading to another Ligue 1 title, with the French side 21 points clear.

> Looking at where we are in the league it does \[obsess us\] a bit because it’s still important to win a title this season, so the Champions League definitely counts a lot for us. But we’re not too focused on it \[yet\] because we have problems to sort out.
