After following Alejandro Garnacho closely since his days in Spanish football, Mauricio Pochettino, leader of Chelsea, claims he is not by Garnacho’s success at Manchester United.
Among Erik ten Hag’s struggling squad, the 19-year-old winger has been a bright spot recently, scoring twice in as many games (one in the Champions League against Galatasaray and another spectacular bicycle kιck away against Everton).
Garnacho initially crossed paths with Pochettino when playing for Atletico Madrid. Pochettino now splits his time between Chelsea and Barcelona.
“He is an exciting player, young and talented,” Pochettino remarked about his Argentine teammate, who has earned three caps at the senior level.
We were aware of him while he was in Spain, so this is not shоcking to us. He then moved to Manchester. It’s inspiring to watch a young player take risks and showcase his abilities.
The Argentine and the Spaniard make him just right. Since he is Spanish-Argentinian and I am Argentinian-Spanish, he is completely at odds with me.
“It’s exciting because it’s good to have these type of players for the national team and I’m excited to see him on the pitch.”
In Chelsea’s next Wednesday night match against United, Pochettino has highlighted the threаt posed by Garnacho and Marcus Rashford’s lightning-fast movements.
Despite being five points behind United in the race for European qualifying, the Blues could use some pressure on Ten Hag.
The ιnjury list now has ten players, including Lesley Ugochukwu, Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku, and Romeo Lavia.
Following Conor Gallagher’s suspension against Brighton, Chelsea now have the worst Premier League disciplinary record with 47 yellow cards and three red cards for the whole season.
And Pochettino maintained that he had attempted to resolve the matter before to the visit to Old Trafford.
“We showed the clips of the yellow cards today while we were talking in the meeting,” he added.
Since the regulations were altered for this season, there are an excessive number. Cunning is required of us. You irritate the player, which results in a yellow card. Then, depending on the situation, you could obtain another yellow card. This is only one of several that we receive.
The yellow card that Nicolas Jackson received for arguing with the referee was brought up in our conversation. A yellow card was not given to the opponent despite a foul.
When I ask why it wasn’t a yellow card, you sаy, “But you complain.” “Oh, yellow card for you” is the other option. This is how we get it.
We have to get crafty if we want to make progress here. We must not be foolish and make the same mistakes over and over again.
