Pochettino is in an interesting place because they lost the League Cup [final], now they’re in the semi-finals of the FA Cup,’-Ian Wright explains the only way Mauricio Pochettino can save his job at Chelsea
Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has voiced his belief that Malo Gusto, currently with Chelsea, possesses the potential to establish himself as a dominant force in the Premier League, particularly in the right-back position. Chelsea secured Gusto’s services from Lyon for £26.3 million slightly over a year ago. However, due to Reece James’ injury concerns, the 20-year-old has found himself thrust into more playing time than initially anticipated this season.
Gusto’s recent performances for Chelsea have drawn praise, with Sagna highlighting his speed, agility, and proficiency in one-on-one situations. Sagna also notes that Gusto’s impressive displays at Lyon have set a precedent for his success at Chelsea. Despite his current form, Sagna sees room for further growth as Chelsea navigates a period of rebuilding.
Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s manager, has also weighed in on Gusto’s emergence as a key figure within the squad. Pochettino reflects on the challenges Gusto faced upon arrival, citing the need for adaptation to the Premier League and the club’s playing style. Despite initial setbacks, including injuries, Pochettino expresses optimism about Gusto’s development, particularly in terms of his attacking contributions and overall skill set.
Looking ahead, Pochettino emphasizes the importance of Gusto’s continued presence in the team and hopes to see him realize his full potential with regular game time. While Gusto has demonstrated promise, both Sagna and Pochettino believe that with time and consistent performance, he can evolve into a dependable and impactful player for Chelsea in the Premier League.
