Pochettino blasted his players despite the 6-0 win after embarrassing discussion about taking a penalty

Despite trying to beat the Everton (6-0) in one of the best games of Chelsea This season, the ‘blue’ team starred in an embarrassing image that caused a subsequent angry reaction from its coach, Mauricio Pochettino.

With 4-0 in the light and three goals already in the pocket of Cole Palmer, a penalty was awarded in favor of the locals. The possibility that he himself opened up Palmera regular pitcher, would score his fourth ‘target’ and reach Erling Haaland.

Then an absurd fight ensued between Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke for carrying out the maximum punishment. captain, Conor Gallagher need to intervene and finally Palmer He managed to kick it and scored.

After the meeting, Pochettino was strong: “Later we will talk about the game, but the first thing I want to say and be very clear is that the players, the coaching staff and the club know that the one who will take the penalty is Cole Palmer. Everything that happened after that was a shame. I am very disappointed in that situation. We talked about what happened in the locker room, about the image we gave tonight. All over the country they are watching the game and we cannot provide this kind of image. It’s a shame and I want to apologize to the people of football and to our fans, because it’s unacceptable. Discipline is the most important thing in a team. For these types of situations, I have to make decisions.”

The Argentine added that “we won’t accept this kind of behavior again. I’ve had a hard time. I tell the players and they promise it won’t happen again. We have to learn. When you have a young team, if sometimes the individuals fight with the collective. When you ask me why we are not consistent or don’t put good performances sometimes, it is because of these things. They should be very clear is a very important asset of the club, but at the same time they must perform for the team. They have to learn that they are in Chelsea and the demand is maximum”.

Pochettino He continued by saying “we don’t do penalties. It’s about learning, they’re young. It’s great Conor Gallagher as the captain there, but we cannot show this kind of behavior. It was a punishment for everyone, because everyone knew who was the pitcher and who was who. Yes Cole Palmer He’s on the field, he’s the pitcher. We have to remember a very difficult situation Burnley. There was a penalty, nobody wanted to take it and he caught the ball and showed his character. From there, he became the taker of punishment. I can’t explain everything we talked about, but it was embarrassing. All I can do is apologize and say it won’t happen again. We will be stricter in discipline. Children cannot behave here. After an incredible match, where we played well from the start, we talk about it. We behaved in a very selfish way on the part of some players. This is the kind of information we need to make decisions next season. “Let’s focus on these things.”
