Mauricio Pochettino continues to alienate Chelsea fans and the worst part is that he doesn’t seem to understand the damage it is causing.
If you want to be Chelsea manager you need to have the majority of fans on your side. Pochettino’s comments continue to alienate the majority of fans from him.
I think his latest comments are arrogant and rude and I actually got really annoyed when I read them.
Telling Chelsea fans, the fans of the club you manage, that you don’t understand football if you criticize him is the simplest insult and a slap in the face.
I understand that he wants to stand up for himself and defend himself against criticism. It’s okay, he has the right to do that. He would also receive abuse and excessive criticism from the usual suspects on social media. Some of them I wouldn’t even call proper fans.
But when you manage a club like Chelsea, you have to expect and understand that if you sit in 9th place in the league with 5 games left, you will be criticized. Bigger than the coach or not (it is). And most of these criticisms will come from sane fans and people who understand football, as I classify them. So this is an insult to me, an insult to the majority of you who have criticized Pochettino this season, and an insult not only to the fans he claims are ‘bored of social activities’. media.’
It was pointed out that the cause of the injury problem was the coaching team’s training method.
“We know this business,” Pochettino said. “Too many people talk, criticize someone and try to create bad feelings. I think in 15 years we will have the knowledge and experience to handle this. We are a group of performance venues and medical staff working together. We decide together. We come from clubs other than Mars to manage our football players. “It’s rude for people who are bored at home to use social media.”
This hurt me. This is something he never likes to do, take responsibility for or take responsibility for. After all, we have had a huge number of injuries this season and that is completely unacceptable. Everyone is responsible for it, including you Pochettino. There are definitely things that aren’t right, things that aren’t working, players buying in too early, being asked to do too much too quickly during training, etc. But to say that people who worry and ask questions about injuries are just bored people on social media is incredibly disrespectful to the fans who pay so much of their hard-earned money to come out once a week to club week and support their club. This is a major loss of contact for Poch.
Regarding common criticism from Chelsea fans
“It’s different from having a social media following,” Pochettino said. “When I walk my dog every day, I feel the gratitude of my fans. In other clubs, when you walk down the street, you sometimes hear people say, ‘Hey, you really have to do this,’ but here it’s the opposite. When I’m on the street, people are really nice and appreciative and give us credit for working on really difficult projects and processes.
“People who understand a little bit of football know what’s going on here and they appreciate our commitment and the way we conduct ourselves and they really believe and support the decisions we make. We are at the beginning of this journey and we need to add support and knowledge and experience to increase our competitiveness.”
This hurt me even more. So people questioning your tactics, disconnect with the fan base, general persona and comments in interviews, lack of responsibility, leaky defence, open style of play, players playing out of position, late and odd substitutions and general tactical knowledge. Are you saying you don’t understand soccer because you’re not good enough? please.
If anything, I’ve seen much more meaning in what the community here and even some of his fans on social media have said that he clearly hates with a passion, than I’ve seen from Poch at times.
As a fan, you deserve to have a voice and critique the money and time you spend at the club you love. This has been happening since the game started. Back then it was in the local pub after the game, but now it’s all elevated through social media and the internet, but it’s always been there and it always will be. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I find these comments too patronizing and only makes me no longer allow myself to have a relationship with Pochettino.
I say this as someone who supported his appointment and continued to support him for much longer than many others. I’ve also been open to changing my mind about him in recent weeks. So to do what he is doing for fans like me, many of us feel the same way. It’s taking us even further and he’s making a huge mistake by doing so. We can be your lifeline at this club.
The faster he goes, the better it gets, and I’m afraid I’ll feel it more every time he talks.
He says we don’t understand. But I’m sorry Pochi, it’s you who doesn’t understand. You don’t understand this club and its fan base, and that’s been one of your biggest downfalls.
It’s okay though. He has a good dog, and Barry, the people in the neighborhood like dogs…
