Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino,was really impressed with his team performance today after a keenly contested match at Etihad stadium that ended in a 1-1 draw. Speaking after the match, Pochettino stated that:
“It’s not just about our ability to prepare for the match; it’s about the players executing the game plan and performing at the level we demonstrated.
They displayed great character today. While the coaching staff work hard to strategize, success ultimately lies with the players. Today’s performance was a testament to their execution.
We understand Manchester City’s style well, especially here at the Etihad. If you don’t assertively push them back when in possession, you’ll find yourself defending deep in the second half. This game was significant for us to maintain our momentum, affirming our progress.
We’re still striving to reach Manchester City’s level, but we’re a young team learning and growing from such experiences. Football isn’t just about skill; it’s about competitiveness, and today the team demonstrated our ability to compete while playing well.”
