Chelsea youngsters struggling under weight of pressure, admits Pochettino
Manager organised team-bonding barbecue‘We are focused on trying to help them’
Mauricio Pochettino said that many of his young players have struggled to cope with the pressure at Chelsea on the day he organised a team-bonding barbecue at the training ground – part of the ongoing drive to improve chemistry and assimilation.
The manager, who is preparing for Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final at home to Leicester, has overseen an incredible churn of players since his arrival last summer. There are only three survivors, for example, from the 2021 FA Cup final match-day squad that lost to Leicester – Reece James, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell.
