Mauricio Pochettino was once again able to face the media following a win after goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson against Sheffield United. The Blues came away with a 2-0 victory to bounce back from consecutive defeats against Everton and Manchester United.
Pochettino was losing his voice following the game, and would have been disappointed not to talk more about three points. However, he could not help but also throw things ahead to the Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United on Tuesday evening.
Chelsea's 51-year-old head coach provided his views on how his side were able to turnaround a difficult first half performance and the mistake that was fixed at half time. There were also questions on Palmer's impact and why Enzo Fernandez was left out of the starting lineup on this occasion.
football.london details every word Pochettino said in his post-match press conference in the depths of Stamford Bridge.
How do you feel after the game? Relieved or happy?
Relief, no. I am happy because the players deserve the victory and they work really well during the week. They react. I feel like I told you yesterday in my press conference, we already many things and of course it's about to build our confidence. At the same time we need realise the things we need to change if we want to improve. Happy because three points are really important for us and then because on Tuesday we have a really important game against Newcastle, and arriving with this victory is completely different. Good feelings are really important and with the confidence that we can move through also and stay in the Carabao Cup.
