YOUR CAREER IS OVER: Pochettino Has instructed Chelsea Star To Pack His Bags And Leave Stamford Bridge after having less touches than the Goal keeper
The manager of Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino, knows that he and his players are “not good enough” right now. The Blues lost 4–2 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at home on Sunday afternoon. Most of the fans at Stamford Bridge were very angry, and they let everyone know by booing at the end of the game.
Three goals from Matheus Cunha and one from Rayan Ait-Nouri were more than enough for the second team. Early in the game, Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead. Late in the game, Thiago Silva scored a goal to make things even.
A lot of questions were asked of Pochettino about the Wolves’ loss. At this point, Bobby Vincent has written down everything the Argentine said.
How would you describe what happened today?
“I believe it is simple. I believe we had a good start to the game when we scored. Because of how we gave up the first goal, I think the team suffered. We need to try to get back on track and trust the way we are trying to play.
“After that, it was hard to handle. The energy went down, and it was a really tough time to handle. There were two own goals in the first half, and yes, we can feel it. There was a chance for us to score a second goal early in the second half, but when we gave up, it felt like the players were having a hard time handling the situation.
Today, your guys looked tense…
“Yes, I believe that was the biggest issue—that we feel stressed and pressured to win, play well, and do well. When Palmer scored, we didn’t have time to get ahead in the game, take it easy, and feel good about ourselves. We gave up two goals, and you can’t afford to give up these two goals.
“Giving up to a Premier League team is always tough.” After Liverpool, that’s how I felt: it’s hurting the team so much. Everything was hard, but their game was easy for them because they were full of energy.
Do you think the players are good?
“I don’t think any of us are. At this point, that’s the truth. I also think I’m the first person to blame for this. That we are not good enough is what we showed today. I totally agree with you. No one is safe because we didn’t handle the issue well. I don’t want to say that I’m the best here. We are all in charge.
“Such as the players. The players need to be responsible, just like I am. I agree with you that we are not matching the club’s past right now. Yes, we do need to accept, be critical, and not give up. We need to keep trying to make things different, maybe make a choice, and find new ways to do things.
A lot of people are mad…
“All we can do is say sorry to the fans.” What people think is different from what is real. People think Chelsea should be in a different spot, but the truth is that we are not there yet. One, we might not be good enough.
“Right now, feeling the responsibility, the organisation, and the players we have is the most important thing.” It’s very important to understand the people. We’re sorry about that. Just like them, we’re sad, but we need to keep fighting until the end. Of course, we want to do well in the future.
During the 90 minutes, you should try to work together. In the end, they have the right to criticise or get angry if the performance isn’t good. The players are young and need help. “I want to thank the fans because they stuck with us until the end.”
What does that make you feel?
“I am a person.” I’m not a machine. Of course, that’s not a good position. But in sports, you have to be okay with it. You have to be ready for that when you play for a club like Chelsea, and I think that happened today.
“You have to be strong to work in this line of work and in this kind of club. We have the strength and energy to move on. Though it’s not a pleasant moment, it’s always important to move on and encourage the players to never give up, be strong, and get back on track after something like this.
“The players need to believe in themselves again in order to compete again.” The actors want to put on a great show. While the game is going on, they do feel the heat from the fans. It is simple to enjoy watching the games from afar, but it can be hard when worry comes up. We need to help them get over their loss right now.
