Lately, Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has been feeling quite optimistic about the team's progress under manager Mauricio Pochettino. Despite a rocky season with inconsistent performances, Boehly believes that things are finally falling into place for the club.
In the last two games, Chelsea has shown impressive growth with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham and a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham. And even in the game before that, where they were behind by two goals, the team managed to bounce back and secure a draw against Aston Villa. These positive results have given the team some much-needed momentum as the season comes to a close.
Boehly was thoroughly impressed by these recent performances, stating that they perfectly represented the style of football he wants to see from the team. "We've seen the last two and a half games, at least in the second half at Aston Villa and Tottenham and West Ham, where we played just beautiful football," he said in an interview with The Athletic. "It was so fluid and exactly how we envisioned it - building up from the back, organized movement up the pitch, and plenty of shots on goal. It's clear that our hard work is finally paying off."
He also noted how quickly the commentary around the team has changed in just two and a half games, a testament to the team's growth and improvement.
Pochettino, who has had a difficult first season as Chelsea boss, has faced rumors about his future with the club. However, these have been put to rest with the team's recent performances. Before the West Ham game, Pochettino called for an end to any speculation, stating, "Enough with these rumors. I have one more year left on my contract and if no one says anything to me, I'll assume that I'll be here. If at the end of the season someone tells me 'ciao,' then that's a different story. But for now, I am focused on this team and this club. Let's put an end to these baseless rumors."
Chelsea's current position in the Premier League standings is seventh, and they are still in the running for a spot in European football next season. With three games left to play, the team is determined to finish strong and secure their spot.
