“I arrived at Chelsea in a different project. I played with my reputation to come here also, in a project that is to build a team with young, talented players”, said the manager. “Of course, we knew it was a massive challenge to build a team, win games and to be competitive”.
“I said from the beginning I want to build a genuine relationship and not kiss the badge or do stupid things on the touchline to win the benefit of the fans. What I want is to provide to the team the tools to win games and, through trust in the team and winning games, to build a good relationship”, said Pochettino.
