Despite the 12th place, Pochettino is not afraid of his position on the Chelsea bench

Mauricio Pochettino said that there are no coaching problems at Chelsea, despite being the team’s fifth coach since the beginning of last season.

Mauricio Pochettino has had a difficult start to this season with Chelsea. After last year’s stunning flurry of confirmations, everyone knew it wouldn’t be an easy task if they were to build a team, but few might have expected them to finish 12th in the table before Christmas.

“I moved here because I trust the owner’s ideas. I am someone who will believe until the end, until no one trusts me anymore. I know I have to achieve results, and I know football. Even though we did not get the results we expected, I still believe in the team.” And the project.

I have a good relationship with the owners, they always communicate with the outside. “I’m here because they trust me. If that changes, I won’t be here anymore.”

“Our goals are clear. From the first minute, the feedback has been positive, we are doing well, we just need time. Of course we can spend money. If you want to buy a house, buy it, but if you want to build one, there will always be risks.” .

When you build a house, you also have to buy a plot of land, design the house, find builders, and then wait for them to finish the work. If you just want to buy it, it’s much easier.

People also need to understand that circumstances will always interfere with such a serious job. Young players need luck, not just time. The problem is that our young team takes a lot of hits, which only delays them from developing on the pitch.

Things won’t go well in a couple of days, but that doesn’t mean we’ll never achieve what we set out to do. Sometimes, of course, you have to make changes on the fly, but the basics remain the same.”

Chelsea can make amends against Sheffield United on Saturday from 16:00, but more of their key players will be out due to injury. Reece James At the moment, it is questionable how much time has passed, however Mark Cucurella Not in a good position either. The Spanish left-back will have his ankle examined by a specialist next week, when the next step in his rehabilitation may be determined. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez There can’t be either, instead Dorde Petrovic He can defend who moved from New England Revolution in the summer.

There is at least one piece of good news left for Chelsea fans, as he signed from RB Leipzig in the summer Christopher Nkunku It could be there in the frame. The French striker suffered a knee injury in pre-season, so was unable to play in an official match for the Blues.
