Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, two high-priced players for Chelsea, need to work on their chemistry, according to Mauricio Pochettino.
Mauricio Pochettino has supported captain Reece James’s comeback and provided an explanation for why Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were unable to form a partnership.
With five fewer points after fifteen League matches compared to previous year at the same juncture, Chelsea have failed to make any progress following a poor performance last season.The most recent loss was a 2-1 road setback at Manchester United, which benefited a Chelsea team that was outplayed and outplayed in the midfield.
“The relationship between them needs to improve, between them and individually,” Pochettino said when asked why Caicedo and Fernandez haven’t clicked as a midfield tandem yet.
Their age is in its infancy. Upon arrival, you will be met with enormous anticipation. At a club like Chelsea, it’s not only the individual’s expectation, but the team’s as well. Arriving in the optimal spot to act swiftly is not easy, but they must do it in order to be a part of the answer. You can’t put a cherry on top of them.It doesn’t matter whether you’re young and inexperienced when you join a team in its developmental stages; what matters is that you perform, regardless of whether you have good qualities or not. The club paid a lot of money, after all.
This is due to the fact that some individuals have such views due to a lack of knowledge regarding football. There will be a procedure, and there already is one. They will eventually get more knowledge and develop a bond that contributes to the team’s success.
Another player who has taken heat is James, whose defensive shortcomings were on full display in the team’s embarrassing road losses to Manchester United and Newcastle.
Even though his captain has not played a whole match this season, Pochettino continues to back him 100%. According to the Chelsea boss, Reece’s current focus should be on improving his fitness and self-assurance in order to reach the goal of playing a full 90 minutes.Obviously, we’re in it to win it, but Reece needs playing time more than anything else. In that case, he probably won’t be able to stay fit. In my opinion, we need to point fingers at everyone else and not only him for the two games [Newcastle and United]. If you were unsuccessful, it was due to a communal failure.
“I am pleased with him,” Pochettino said of James’ performance in his new role as captain. But keep in mind that it’s hard to feel invested in a captain who isn’t playing due to ιnjury or some other issue. But he’s killing it, and I couldn’t be happier with him.
Sunday will see Chelsea take on Everton at Goodison Park. The Blues’ chances of making the Champions League next season would diminish rapidly if they continue to lose points. The need to go so quickly makes us feel disillusioned and upset, Pochettino remarked.
However, we must pause and begin anew, anew, and anew. Building anything is always a process, and no matter how well-planned and smart your ideas are in your head, the reality may be different, and you’ll need to take it slow.
“Right now, we have to take it easy because the outcomes also impact how you feel emotionally in terms of how you can adjust and absorb the idea and all that.”
