Mauricio Pochettino has hit again at “unfair” and “annoying” criticism of Chelsea after his aspect had been labelled billion-pound bottle jobs.
Chelsea got the “blue billion-pound bottle jobs” label by former Manchester United defender Gary Neville after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool within the League Cup last.
Neville, working as a commentator for Sky Sports, was scathing of Chelsea’s torpid efficiency in extra-time at Wembley as an inexperienced Liverpool line-up prolonged the Blues’ wait for his or her first home trophy since 2018.
Despite spending over £1 billion ($1.5 billion) on signings since Toddy Boehly’s consortium purchased Chelsea in 2022, the west London membership have gone backwards during the last two seasons.
But Pochettino refused to just accept Neville’s swipe, telling reporters on Tuesday: “The problem is so annoying when after eight months always people talk about one billion.
“I feel that’s a little bit unfair. The new owners arrived with the right intention and they want to build something that is different from the past.
“For me the players have an amazing quality, they only need time. It’s not an excuse for me because if I am here or not, it’s not dependent on me. I think we are doing an amazing job.”
Chelsea are languishing in eleventh place within the Premier League and have been booed off by their pissed off followers a number of occasions this season.
Boehly has already sacked Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter throughout his quick reign and Pochettino can not afford an embarrassing FA Cup fifth spherical exit at house to second tier Leeds on Wednesday.
But, adamant Chelsea will get it proper in time, Pochettino mentioned: “We cannot see maybe great results. But I think with time we are going to have an amazing team.
“We are young, we are learning. People that work here for many years say they start to feel in a different way how the club is.
“But unfortunately we cannot relate in points. Always this type of process needs time.”
Asked if he expects the membership’s possession to stay affected person, Pochettino replied: “Why not? I am confident until they tell me something.
“I feel the support from them. When I go up (to receive his runners-up medal at Wembley), I was so upset, nearly crying when I arrived there.
“And then Todd sent a very, very nice text to me, and then I met (co owner) Behdad (Eghbali) and he was really good.”
