Gary Neville has praised Mauricio Pochettino's work as the new head coach of Chelsea. He believes that the Argentine manager will be able to take the potential of four players - Mykhailo Mudryk, Ian Maatsen, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson - and turn them into top performers.
Speaking on his podcast, Neville said: "There's a lot to look forward to and Mauricio Pochettino will love this - the frantic nature of Mykhailo Mudryk, Ian Maatsen, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson. They run offside, they're too quick in what they play, they're not cold in the box, they're actually a bit too emotional and they're not composed. But he will bring that to them I think, in terms of how they work on the training pitch. There's a lot to work with at Chelsea, a lot of potential and I think they've got the right coach to turn that potential into high-quality, good performers."
Furthermore, Neville talked about Chelsea's draw with Liverpool and named two other Chelsea players as Man-of-the-Match candidates. He said: "What there was - and it certainly wasn't there towards the end of last season when they were disgraceful at times - was that they were persistent. They kept going. It was summed up no better than Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher, in the end you were looking at one of them to be Man of the Match for Chelsea. They grew into the game and started to dominate it."
It's clear that Neville has faith in Pochettino and believes that he will be able to take the potential of Chelsea's players and turn them into top performers. It will be interesting to see how the team develops over the course of the season and if Pochettino can bring the best out of the players he has at his disposal.
