Mauricio Pochettino (51) has responded to the criticism of Chelsea following their defeat in the League Cup final, labeling it as “unfair” and “annoying.”

However, Pochettino defended Chelsea’s situation, expressing his belief that the criticism was unjust. He emphasized that the club’s new owners have the right intentions and are aiming to build something different from the past.
Pochettino praised the quality of Chelsea’s players but stressed that they need time to gel and develop. He refused to use the club’s current struggles as an excuse, expressing confidence in their potential.
Despite Chelsea’s current position in 11th place in the Premier League and recent managerial changes, Pochettino remains optimistic about the club’s future. He acknowledged the need for patience and emphasized that the process of building a successful team takes time.
Regarding the club’s ownership, Pochettino expressed confidence that they will remain patient and supportive. He shared a positive interaction with club officials, indicating a strong level of backing from them despite recent setbacks.
