Multi-million reinforcements

Despite Pochettino’s optimism in times of crisis, former England footballer Aaron Lennon has a different opinion. “I really think Chelsea are in for a tough season. We are talking about the changes of so many players and so many coaches. Many of these players are very young, some have not played in the Premier League and came at very, very high prices (Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández, in particular). He will not accept the pressure he will get from the Chelsea fans,” said Pochettino’s former pupil at Tottenham Hotspur.

This is how Lennon explained what he bases his theory on: “If you look at the injury list, and I actually looked at it, I was thinking about Pochettino’s coaching methods. It changes the training routine. He did that when he arrived at Tottenham. Some players struggled at the beginning because it was a completely different workload and maybe that affects Chelsea today.”
