Mauricio Pochettinocoach of Chelseais trying to restore the forward’s confidence Mykhailo Mudryk playing with him to hit the crossbar from outside the area. The Ukrainian, who joined Chelsea for around 70 million in January, has played 22 games for the ‘Blues’, but has not scored a goal this time. To bring the footballer back, Pochettino proposed a unique game to him.
“With Mudryk I like to play sometimes to hit the crossbar from outside the area,” Pochettino said before hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup. “He told me: ‘I don’t want to play with you anymore because you always beat me.’ And I said: ‘Yes, I beat you because I have faith and the perfect balance of faith and quality. I know this very well because I am 50 years old. “You are young and you have to know yourself,” added Pochettino.
“Today is the first day we have tied, because he always wins. I told him that now he has to start believing in himself and his quality. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have that balance.”
Mudryk arrived at Chelsea after a soap opera with Arsenal and after half a season with Shakhtar Donetsk where he scored ten goals in 18 games, making his jump to the Premier possible. However, Mudryk has yet to live up to expectations and has not benefited from Chelsea’s disastrous year, which has not improved in the new season. Those from Stamford Bridge managed five points from a possible 18 and scored just five goals in six games.
