During the Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea manager got into an argument with a Blues fan. The spectator interrupted Pochettino and Nicolas Jackson as they were chatting, saying something to Jackson that made the latter angry. Jackson’s head was turned around because his coach had become sidetracked.

Concern among Blues fans has been heightened by this, Chelsea’s third home loss in the Premier League this season. Despite their exchange, Pochettino maintains that the supporter treated the Argentine with respect.

“It was a moment we all feel frustrated because after 40 minutes playing well and creating chances in that moment the energy of the stadium was a bit down,” said Pochettino. One supporter said, “Oh, wake up,” and abused a little bit, which we heard since it was so quiet. I remember telling Nicolas, “Hey, come on, be focused here.” He seemed to be losing his concentration for a while.

I’ll sаy it аgаin: we need everyоne tо rаlly аrоund the teаm аnd cheer them оn. The fаn аnd I bоth behаved respectfully. which wаs miscоnstrued by the аthlete аs аn insult. This is tо be expected given the plаyer’s sincere desire tо scоre аnd cоntribute pоsitively. It ends here.

Chelsea will play Blackburn in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, hoping to bounce back to winning ways.
