Poch speaking to the press after his official Chelsea presser this afternoon have all these to say.
Poch: “Players that are not happy. If they don’t want to fight for their place and feel part of the team playing or not playing, the door is open.” #CFC
Pochettino: “I have the support of the owner, I have the support of the sporting director, so far. They need to trust in our judgement. It’s not the people of social media, it’s our judgement.”
Poch: “I said even before the signings that we need to expect to win, we need to expect to have a mentality that we will be there and everything is possible.”
Poch: “I can feel the excitement from the people, even from the players who were already here. But when Caicedo and Lavia decided to come here, it was a big boost also to say: ‘we’re at a club where everything Is possible.’”
Poch: “The players cannot be upset. We will be upset against the player. Because if we sign a player and are giving an eight year contract and the player is not willing to do what we expect him to do and is not playing, it is because of him and not because of us.”
Pochettino: “My job is to be fair with everyone in the squad. Sign a player on an eight-year contract and if he is not involved, no commitment, he is not going to play.”
“The feeling also translated to outside that they wanted to join us and I think that is so exciting, you can feel the energy at the training ground. That’s fantastic, we are so happy and now we have to work hard, play and enjoy.
“We have to be clever in the way we set up the principles and the process. But I think the fans are happy and I think they showed it against Liverpoolthat they were behind the team, they were very loud and animated. The feeling is very good and the players really appreciated the energy from the fans.”
