Mauricio Pochettino has been facing a difficult start to his managerial career at Chelsea, but he insists that it's not any more difficult than his previous positions at Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur. Despite the Blues having only earned five points in their first six Premier League games, Pochettino believes his team is playing well and is only lacking one crucial factor - scoring goals.
The Argentine manager said, “It’s less hard than when we were in Southampton and Tottenham, trust me. Believe me. The only thing we are missing is scoring goals, because the team is playing, if you see our first few months in Southampton and Tottenham, I think we are playing much better.”
Pochettino believes the situation he has been presented with at Chelsea is different from his previous experiences. “The transformation was with us, in the way that we found the squad, with the club, we were working in six months, one year to change and design. Here, the plan was already made, and we arrived here and we tried to develop this project. When I arrived here, the plan had started to work. Now I am part of the plan. Of course I am responsible here also like in Tottenham, but I think it was a little bit different.”
Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their poor start when they face Brighton in the League Cup on Wednesday, before a short trip to Fulham on Monday night. Hopefully the Blues can start to turn their fortunes around and have a successful season under Pochettino.
