Following a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, Mauricio Pochettino has issued a stern demand for his Chelsea squad to exhibit greater self-respect. The Argentine manager emphasized the need for mental strength and adherence to their playing philosophy during tough times.
Pochettino’s call to action comes after a disappointing week for Chelsea, which saw them crash out of the FA Cup against Manchester City before enduring a heavy loss to their London rivals. With the Blues languishing in ninth place in the Premier League, Pochettino’s focus is on regaining their confidence and composure.
Looking ahead, Chelsea faces a challenging encounter against Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa. With memories of a previous defeat to Villa still fresh, Pochettino’s men are tasked with a crucial test of character as they aim to salvage pride and points in their remaining fixtures.
