25 September 2023 at 13:57 Pochettino on Chelsea’s start to crisis: – We have to grow up Mauricio Pochettino’s entry and a sudden influx of new players have not solved Chelsea’s problems in the Premier League. The London club has only five league wins in 2023. On Sunday, another setback came at home at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea wasted their chances and were reduced to ten men during the 0-1 loss to Aston Villa. The team is in 14th place with only five points after six rounds. The hiring of Pochettino and another summer of big spending has not worked out. – Football players want to win, but mistakes will happen when you have young players without experience. It is clear that we are dissatisfied. We have to solve this as soon as possible and we have to grow up as a team, said Pochettino after the match. Chelsea got American owners last spring. They took over the club after nearly two decades with Roman Abramovich, and in the last 15 months huge sums of money have been spent on new players. Nevertheless, Chelsea are struggling hard. In the calendar year 2023, the blue-clad side have only five wins out of a possible 29 in the Premier League. – They are looking forward to being able to build something good with this project, but they are disappointed. At the same time, they must trust the plan. We have to do the work and trust each other. We have the team we have, and we cannot change that now, says Pochettino about the owner’s reactions to Chelsea’s ongoing crisis. (NTB)
