Pochettino claimed it was not his team but Chelsea’s: What occured?
The Argentine coach made waves when he stated that the team is not performing in line with his tactics due to the absence of his favored players at Cobham. This unexpected revelation occurred following Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Brighton, marking their fourth consecutive win in the Premier League and propelling them to sixth place in the rankings.
Insisted that the club was not following his style: A broader perspective.
Pochettino has reversed his stance on his previous comments and asserted that there was a misunderstanding of his words. He refrained from attributing fault to the media, opting instead to take responsibility for his lack of clarity in communication.
Made a U-turn and clarified his previous statements: Pochettino’s statement.
Pochettino expressed to the media, “Perhaps I should hold myself accountable. There are instances when even my wife seems a bit confused during our conversations. I always maintain a high level of respect. The club and its emblem are of utmost importance to me. I do not claim ownership of the team. What significance does that hold?
“Over time, due to the highly emotional nature of football, we may tend to reiterate certain points excessively, but it is all within the context of emotions. Our feelings and state of being are reflected in the way we approach the game we aspire to play.”
Were you aware?
Reports have indicated that the Chelsea board is keen on retaining Pochettino at Stamford Bridge. Nevertheless, the coach has presented a vital requirement that would grant him greater authority over transfers. When questioned about the necessary actions for the upcoming summer, the manager dismissed the query and responded, “You should direct your inquiries to the sporting directors and owners. Football is a constantly evolving entity – circumstances can alter.”
What lies ahead for Pochettino?
Pochettino would love to finish the season on a triumphant note against Bournemouth on Sunday. They can even qualify for the Europa League if Tottenham fall to Sheffield United on the final matchday and the Blues do their job at Stamford Bridge against the Cherries.
Adding about the impact of his substitutes: “Always you need talented players, players from the bench to make a big impact like happened today and a little bit lucky to win the game.
“I’m so happy because the important thing is always to believe and never give up. The team showed their resilience and maturity to fight until the end and I am so pleased because maybe you cannot perform like we did against West Ham and Tottenham.
“In this type of game, you need to be a bit more mature and at the same time to play a different type of football. That is important if you want to be in a higher position in the league table.”
