Can Pochettino succeed in CPR?

Will Chelsea, led by Mauricio Pochettino, be able to revive.

Chelsea tied Manchester City 4-4 in the 12th round of the 2023-24 Premier League PL at Stamford Bridge in London, England, at 1:30 a.m. on the 13th . Chelsea are ranked 10th in the league with four wins, four draws and four losses 16 points.

On this day, Chelsea created opportunities in set pieces and counterattacks. He lost a point first, but Thiago Silva's equalizer broke out in a corner kick attack, and Raheem Sterling soon succeeded in turning the tables. They lost one more goal in extra time in the first half and played a fierce game 2-2.

He gave up a run first in the second half, but as soon as he took the change through a replacement card, he balanced the score. Manchester City took the lead again in the tight flow. But Chelsea didn't give up. In the end, he won a penalty kick PK in extra time in the second half, and Cole Palmer scored and drew 4-4.

Coach Pochettino, who took office last summer, was forced to change tactics due to frequent injuries from the beginning of the season. In the early part of the season, Enzo Fernandez was placed as an attacking midfielder and Conor Gallagher was placed in the third line. He planned the game while somewhat covering the players' strengths.

Pochettino made the decision. Starting with the match against Fulham in the seventh round, Enzo and Gallagher changed their positions. In the third line, Enzo contributed to the game while distributing the ball, and Gallagher stirred the midfield with his unique active and pressing ability. On top of that, Cole Palmer's form gradually rose as he adapted to the Pochettino system. Raheem Sterling and Nicholas Jackson's scoring ability also increased, boosting the offense.

Chelsea have scored just seven goals in their first seven games since the opening of the league. In three of them Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Aston Villa, he scored no goals. But he gradually improved his scoring ability. He has scored 19 goals in the past eight games. In terms of the past two games, Chelsea has scored eight goals vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City. Compared to 13 goals in the past 10 games, you can see that the offensive power has risen considerably.

The positive part is that injured players will gradually return. Britain's Evening Standard predicted on the 15th that Levi Colwill, Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia could return to the upcoming showdown with Newcastle United. 스포츠토토
