Chelsea’s players have shown support for their Argentine boss, Mauricio Pochettino, despite their humiliating 5-0 defeat against Arsenal. Todd Boehly, the club’s owner, may face a backlash from the squad if he decides to dismiss Pochettino. The recent loss to Arsenal was just one in a series of embarrassing results for Chelsea, and the pressure is on Pochettino, who is 52 years old, to turn things around.
According to the Daily Mail, the players strongly insisted on Wednesday that they are behind Pochettino. Throughout the season, Pochettino has defended his young squad, and the players appreciate his man-management skills at Cobham. In fact, after the defeat, he gave the team a day off to allow them to regroup.
Pochettino expressed his disappointment in the team’s performance against Arsenal, stating that they “gave up” after conceding the third goal. He emphasized the lack of aggression and concentration, which contributed to the defeat.
Despite their current position in ninth place in the Premier League, Chelsea still has a chance to secure a spot in European competitions by the end of the season. The players have reported back to training to prepare for their upcoming match against Aston Villa, who are vying for a Champions League spot.
