After Chelsea lost to Aston Villa on Sunday, Mauricio Pochettino addressed his team in the locker room with a rallying cry. That is in accordance with a story by The Daily Mail.
They report that the head coach of Chelsea urged his players that the team must work together to turn around the season’s bad start. Chelsea is now 14th in the Premier League after Sunday’s defeat to Villa, nine points below the top four. The only win Chelsea had in their first six games was against the winless Luton at home, and half of those games ended in losses. Mauricio Pochettino said that he believes the existing players can turn things around and that he has faith in them.
Many have praised Pochettino for being a brilliant man-manager. As reported by Chelsea’s X account, Blues star Conor Gallagher recently mentioned how Pochettino frequently holds “honest and open” discussions with the Chelsea players.
Mauricio Pochettino’s comments might give Chelsea players the much needed moral boost
Pochettino’s remarks immediately following Villa’s victory against Chelsea at the weekend may have an influence, hopefully for the better.
The fact that results have been dismal for over a year now has left the Chelsea faithful feeling absolutely demoralised. In spite of consistently having scoring opportunities, the team struggles since they don’t take advantage of them.
When Chelsea plays Brighton tomorrow night in the third round of the Carabao Cup, they’ll strive to lighten the atmosphere. A strong showing in the domestic cup tournaments is more vital this season because there is no European football.
Even though the game is being played at Stamford Bridge, many observers will consider Pochettino’s team to be underdogs against a strong Brighton team. Until they discover a clinical touch in the final third, the Blues will keep recording these dismal performances. An excellent starting point for it would be this Wednesday.
