Just finished Chelsea season was pronounced as unsuccessful by the club‘s top executives. They didn‘t say so publicly, but since they sacked Mauricio Pochettino after only one season, the statement is there. The Blues did have a bad start of the season, mainly due to the fact that they brought in many players, most of them unexperienced and for the future, and also many of them got injured, but in the end Pochettino managed to secure a place in the Conference League. Still, that was not enough for him to keep the job, and Enzo Maresca took over in a massive five-year deal. But one former Chelsea player thinks that the absence of some players, rather than the amount of new ones changed the balance of the team for bad. Chelsea just keeps spending – 64 million for a 17-year old kidChelsea legend Gianfranco Zola played for the Blues between 1996 and 2003 and made over 300 appearances for the club. He believes that there are three players who Chelsea shouldn‘t have sold. “Chelsea have had a hard season especially at the beginning, but they changed a lot. They put a lot of young players in place, and lost a lot of experienced ones like Jorginho, Havertz, and Kovacic. They lost many players who were the soul of the team, the leaders, so it took time to get going. But finally Pochettino got it working and it was working quite well. It was very surprising to see him leaving and I don’t know the full reasons but obviously from a supporter point of view I am disappointed“ he said. As for those players, only Havertz had significant playing time in Arsenal, while Kovacic and Jorghino are mearly reserve players in Manchester City and Arsenal. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8161499##
