Chelsea Manager Discusses Building Success Over Time
Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has highlighted the importance of patience in football projects, drawing parallels with Liverpool’s journey to success. In a recent discussion about the pressures of delivering immediate results, Pochettino emphasized the need for time to build a winning team.
“We want results today and it’s difficult to wait… but look at Liverpool,” Pochettino remarked, acknowledging the common desire for quick success in the sport. He recalled a significant match from his tenure at Tottenham Hotspur, where his team secured a 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley in 2017. Pochettino pointed out that despite that defeat, Liverpool went on to achieve great heights, winning both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League in subsequent years.
“That defeat was not the end of the world!” he stated, suggesting that setbacks can be part of a larger journey towards triumph. Pochettino’s comments serve as a reminder of the long-term vision required in football management, a perspective he is likely applying to his current role at Chelsea.
