- Mauricio Pochettino maintains that Chelsea are making strides toward their objective of winning the Premier League.
- The Blues’ boss claims that statistics indicate his side should be significantly higher in the table.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino maintains that his side will ultimately achieve their goal of winning the Premier League. He argues that they should be much closer to the top of the table this season than they currently are.
A challenging season has left Chelsea in 11th place in the Premier League table ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Burnley. Despite significant investments, the Blues are now striving to secure some form of European football for next season.
That is indeed a considerable distance from the ultimate goal of winning the league title. However, despite the evident challenges, Pochettino remains confident that this group will eventually lift the Premier League trophy, even if he is no longer in charge.
“When we came here we knew the challenge would be to help not just one or two [young players], but maybe ten,” the boss explained. “If we were not calm and didn’t analyse the project in the way we do, maybe today you would be talking to different coaches here.
“We understood very well what it means to change the direction of the club. Now it is completely different. We want the best for the club, for the owners, for the players and for our fans.
“Of course, we want to win the Premier League. Yes, one day we will. But if not, for sure another coaching staff will win it because this process needs to happen. And it needs to happen in the best way – in the way that it is happening. Because if not, it will be impossible for the young players to grow.”
Pochettino further argued that a closer examination of the team’s statistics reveals that Chelsea should, in fact, be fourth in the Premier League table, rather than 11th.

“If you look at all the data, in the table we should be in fourth position,” he claimed. “But for different reasons, we are not there.
“What the data means is that we are in a good way. In which area do we need to improve? It’s things [that will come] with time. We need to compete better, small details. You can only get this with experience with time playing together.
“It’s easy to find the data when you want to kill someone. But when the data is good and reflects the team is doing well but for different reasons we’re not getting the results we deserve, [we should] trust in the process.”
