Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea is constructing something remarkable but warns his new club will need a phase of consistency and stability before being able to compete for trophies again. However, the Argentine is aware of the urgency to succeed this season because the crowd at Stamford Bridge is restless.Pochettino: “Next week we are going to face Liverpool and the mentality is to win. My idea and message to the players, the fans and everyone is that we are Chelsea, and we need to win. Today, yesterday, not tomorrow” (@JacobsBen @caughtoffside) #CFC pic.twitter.com/rg8uT8Pinl— Pys (@CFCPys) August 4, 2023 Chelsea has undergone significant changes since the end of last season, with 12 players departing. In their place, the team has acquired Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Axel Disasi. However, the team has yet to secure a new midfielder, a top priority for Pochettino when he took over.”You can bring in names and players. There are some exceptions but in general, all the clubs who win in the end. Liverpool won after many years working hard and being consistent, Manchester City the same after seven or eight years with Pep and Real Madrid also. That is important to understand, the clubs who win are the teams who are more consistent, working hard to make a plan to win. Our job is to provide the team with stability during ups and downs, to behave in the same way.##NAJAVA_MECA_7410216##While the Blues are locked in negotiations with Brighton over the highly-rated midfielder Moises Caidedo, the former PSG and Tottenham boss says they must be flexible and use the vast talent they’ve already got available.”We need to have a plan if we want to arrive there. If we arrive before, perfect. But, if not, we know we are going to arrive at our destination. That is so important. I know how difficult it is to build a squad to have the possibility to compete again with big sides. But we are building something special.”Done and done: Axel Disasi officially at Stamford Bridge for 45,000,000 eurosIn theory, Chelsea could field one of the youngest teams in the Premier League. Although there are many exciting players to watch, turning a group of talented youngsters into a winning team probably requires more time than what Pochettino is allowed.”It is a process that needs time, but in football you can’t ask for time. We know we need to deliver now. My message to everyone here is: We are at Chelsea and we need to win. Today, not tomorrow.”
