In a bold assertion, Mauricio Pochettino backs his Chelsea squad to achieve success, stating, ‘I know what I’m 51 years old’

Mauricio Pochettino, manager of Chelsea, has spoken publicly about his team and his confidence in their eventual victory. Especially in games they should have won, the Blues have been lackluster thus far this season.

In the summer, Pochettino, a former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, was given the task of spearheading a youth-driven transformation at Chelsea. Despite having a strong preseason, the Blues have underachieved this season and currently sit in 12th place in the league.

Some of Chelsea’s detractors have pointed fingers at the manager due to the team’s results and performances. It is anticipated that Pochettino will replicate his success at Chelsea after his impressive work with a youthful Tottenham Hotspur team and Paris Saint-Germain led to his appointment.

During his news conference on Saturday (December 16), Pochettino was asked about his opinions on the squad in preparation for their league match against Sheffield United. In his resolute reply, the Argentine manager showed his complete confidence in his team and command of the situation.

It was reported by Football.London that he stated:

“Time is the problem as well?”I don’t see any issue with it, of course. Without a doubt, we shall achieve our goals. See for yourself. You can accuse this person of being insаne today, but I assure you, I am not. At 51 years of age, I am fully capable.

While Chelsea’s youth team has struggled for consistency this season, schoolboy errors have arguably been the biggest concern. Some strong showings have occurred, but only against certain teams (Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur).

Mauricio Pochettino is anxiоus to keep Chelsea’s young players’ expectations in check.

Mauricio Pochettino must manage his youthful and mostly inexperienced team to their full potential without letting them get overwhelmed. The management is aware of the importance of being patient, even when outsiders assume they will immediately begin producing results.

It was to be expected that the majority of the youths who were bought for astronomical sums have struggled at various points this season. Moises Caicedo, who joined the club for £115 million from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer, is a prime example of this. Pochettino admitted that the manager had to hug the midfielder to reassure him of his confidence in his ability to perform at a high level.

Chelsea have invested substantially to build a great team that Pochettino can develop to his full potential. This will need time and perseverance, both of which the club should supply in plenty for him.
