Chelsea Manager Mauricio Pochettino has send a Warning message to CHELSEA FLOP Mykhailo Mudryk ahead of FA Clash with Aston Villa today
After losing 4-2 to the Wolves, Pochettino issues another dire warning to Mykhaylo Mudryk – walexsports.com
Following a 4-2 loss to the Wolves, Pochettino issues a severe warning to Mudryk.
Before Chelsea’s Premier League match against Wolves, manager Mauricio Pochettino gave an explanation for why Mykhaylo Mudryk is still not a first-team regular.
The 23-year-old international player from Ukraine signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge after joining the Blues from Shakhtar Donetsk in January of last year for an estimated £88.5 million.
He has demonstrated why Chelsea spent so much money to acquire him to West London, particularly during the preseason when he turned in a strong performance against Borussia Dortmund.
In the Carabao Cup, Mudryk was also given a standing ovation for his performance against Brighton; nonetheless, the quick striker has largely fallen short of expectations when given first-team opportunity.
Actually, in his Chelsea career so far, Mudryk has only scored three goals in the Premier League.
He was once again selected on the bench for the team’s league match against Wolves on Sunday; considering Pochettino’s remarks prior to kickoff, this was hardly a shocking move.
Regarding Mudryk, who has only made nine appearances in the Premier League this year, Pochettino stated: “He started the game in the semi-final, which is one of the most important games for us, against Middlesbrough.”
Sure, he’s on the bench right now. See, it all comes down to form during the season—whether you maintain your form and perform at your highest level each and every training session.
“We are a meritocracy as a coaching staff; we will play with the players who will give it their all on the pitch.”
“I think he’s a young guy that arrived here one year ago,” the Argentinean continued. We are aware of the background to [the transfer].
He obviously needs to get better. Though it’s a [team] game rather than tennis, he has incredible quality and promise.
“Some of our players have group performances to complete. It’s incredible to see him, but afterward, you have to adjust and play for the team; all of that takes time.
After a challenging beginning to his Chelsea career, Pochettino stated back in October that the Ukrainian winger is a “different person.”
“He is not a completely different player after three months because we are not magic,” he remarked. “But he is a different person.”
We are beginning to notice this guy’s great qualities. He’s really intelligent and sensitive. He is really intelligent. And how crucial it is to instill trust and confidence in life. People can be honest and begin to showcase their football skills when they feel trusted.
“Micha is doing incredibly well in his interactions with the club, the coaching staff, the players, and the medical staff. That is a significant advancement. The purpose is not to provide him with exercises or guidance on how to move within or between lines.
“That’s a part of his skill, but what matters most is that he can play football with confidence and happiness—you have to feel a connection to the game.”
