Following the loss to Arsenal, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino advised his team to “respect” themselves.
Pochettino has reminded his team “how to behave” during high-pressure situations.
Arsenal, the London rivals, crushed the Blues 5-0 midweek.
Leandro Trossard, Ben White, and Kai Havertz—a former Chelsea hero—all registered goals at the Emirates Stadium, with White and Havertz each securing a brace.
“We had a meeting today and we were talking a lot,” the Chelsea manager stated.
We attempted to understand how we should act when the stakes are high and the game is difficult. We must make an effort to be stronger and have more faith in our philosophy, our style of play, and our preparation for the games.
It is true that we cannot hold the players responsible for the circumstances surrounding our departure from the game once we have exercised discipline. We must have strength, positivity, and the belief that tomorrow we can play well and approach the game well.
“We’re going to face off against another squad once more, vying for the title. We must respect ourselves and act like Chelsea.
