Pochettino reacts after Chelsea thrash West Ham 5-0
So you must be delighted with another big time win Yeah yeah so please I feel so happy continues the same feelings after Thursday keep the momentum I think the performance was fantastic in all the aspect I think yes. So please the player deserve be be great you know because after a few days to play again and in this level I think massive great for them Liam OK in another interview Nani Maduecki just said in the last two games Chelsea being unselfish and really worked with a collective and what what what’s changed No yes I think you the assist for no need to to Jackson that showed the that we learn that we are smart the situation with a penalty if you remember again ever done you know we received too too many criticize but I young team always need to make the mistake always we need to feel this this situation to have to improve we are able to improve it because we are smart and clever people and not intelligent people. I think today was a great great, you know action of of knowledge to see how the group start to you know start to live and how we start to feel in between you know them. And it’s always is a process that take time. You never know if it’s going to take one month, six months or one year. But then I think the most important thing that they start to settle the the principles you know to start to feel and live like a like a group of player that’s creating all the links to after to compete because that is the the reality. So pleased for that because I think we are part of this process helping them you know to to grow and to be more mature and to improve in all the aspect. I think that is only the the first step massive step but this is the step that we wanted to to reach from there now is is only you know to evolve in all the another aspect with the possibility to go in a tactical you know evolution differences that we can improve from there But if if not with without principles or without you know things that we start to show being competitive in this way it’s impossible to evolve in another aspect. OK. Thank you. They must score 1st and once the the position scores and equalizes it seems that the like mentally was the thing was like rugby intensity or or pain or in your own heart. And the last big game, because I would say so, you scored the second one, you went for the first one against first. You could first. You keep pushing. You keep like you look at like absolutely in control. You’re doing the same scoring after 3-4 and the team always look in control and want them more. That changes because it’s part of the process is normal to to to reach this stage but because you feel that finally your your praise are like material, so meant that not just football wise but I cannot move. That’s perfect. Yes, of course. Who I think knows about football is when in all the process to build a team is the most difficult scene because you, you need to have the knowledge and you need to have the capacity, you know, to emphasize with every single play. Because after before, to talk about the collective is the individual part of the most difficult scene. Because they need to feel the confidence they need to trust in in us, in the in the staff in the coaching staff and and and we need to create this you know bond together. That is the most important thing And then you need to start to identify the the player that’s in different you know aspect, how they what they need for after to perform and to show the the quality insight to the pitch. All this process always take time more with the circumstance that we we had from the beginning of the season that never was. You know perfect in terms of you know to have all the player you know in the same time in the same level and you know competing for competing you know and trying to you know improve quicker than than than the the the reality was and then to work with expectation, the expectation from the beginning. The expectation is like the like if you compare with the competition, the competition doesn’t wait for you because you need to compete with the Premier League with a team that are preparing to come here and kill you and expectation is is impossible. Also to fight again or to you know, to be you know because of expectation is expectation but and then you need to defend yourself or after you need to explain but always it’s going to be in another in front of you. They say yeah yeah but that only are excuses because you don’t perform but who knows a little bit about football when the team is on and and with all the party you need to put all together and to start to to work into everyone, find their space and start to feel really confident. That is the most difficult thing and always take time. Now I think and I told you I think a few weeks ago I say I am so happy because I think we we are so close you know to to be in that in that position that is first step that after Tottenham and I told you in the way that we compete was fantastic and and then to give this momentum and I think the team is is growing so up very fast now because that is the standard that the minimum standard that we need if we want to compete in this league. But now it’s like the maturity of Luke Noni. But to be selfish and to play and try to score him, give the assist to and this type of scene when they start to appear, you know on the team, it’s on a a very positive signal. You know that the scene we’re tough to arrive here but now it’s like every scene is going so, so fast and it’s going to be fast because we have the quality. OK we’ve got time for two more Jack and then Nick’s finished Veritio. The competition for the European places now is quite close with yourselves and and the teams around you. If you can finish in the top six how successful a season would that be with the cops And I don’t I don’t want to say nothing because you know from the beginning of the season I’m saying the O 54 which is to win because we are in Chelsea. But I think that create too much pressure and of course now the team is about to be focusing to rest tomorrow and Tuesday prepare and and I start to prepare the game again Saturday again and before I think they should be fast For us is to be mature and to keep the momentum and you know compete improving every single single game. And of course I think we are going to try to be in Europe and it’s going to be good for the for the team and for the players to be in Europe next season. But I cannot say that to describe the the season, a successful season if you know win a title here in Chelsea because again expectation always is to win titles with Chelsea Silva Sands showed that the reality was really really tough. You know to from the from the day one to arrive today. But deep inside player stuff well that we were living the reality I seen the stuff is happy. The players are so happy because I seen in the really tough moment we keep pushing and we really believe and we never give up and even with the criticize and many seen again we were there And that is important in that when we talk about experience about quality and capacity you know to to deal with things you know to enjoy today this type of performance with this team. I think that is what all that we have in our head in our mind and our head and yes now it’s it’s about to be clever and smart and and to give this momentum and into the end of the season. OK. Last question is day, Nick. Yeah, this role, yeah, this role like another that we can implement, you know in the future. But before that is because you know you need to build the the belief, the confidence, the trust, the the team need to compete. I seen all the tactical evolution that we have in our head like our coaching staff. Yes we will apply you know in the future but the most important thing if you don’t you know you cannot sit if you don’t have a chair. But before you need to build a chair and you know the it’s no it. It’s true. The problem in football you you don’t have a team but you expect to behave like a team. You you are so selfish and after you need to be generous you know on the beach it’s the priorities in football who you know like an engineer that is going to build a a a building. Yes. You know yes I want to see so quick the the nice furniture in the flat and the you know and I sleep there. Yeah but first first of all we need to build the Ester tour and everything That is why sometime we made a we made a mistake when we shush the the the the show of the people the coach and staff and also the one which has young player that is always be. I will say always be careful in the way that we shush, because the most important is to see in which moment we are in which type of team. All these things that always you need to start for the purity.
