Chelsea’s major problem under Pochettino

Former Chelsea star, Gianfranco Zola in a recent statement identified the club’s major ‘problem’ under their manager, Mauricio Pochettino this season.

So far, the Blues have made a poor start this season, winning just five points from their opening six fixtures.

This comes amid the Blues spending around £400million in the last summer, which took the club’s spending under co-owner Todd Boehly to around £1.1billion.

Zola pointed out that the spending is the cause of the major problem at Stamford Bridge as fans have no affinity with the new wave of players at Stamford Bridge.

“The supporters don’t identify with these players yet,” Zola told the Times.

“There are a lot of new players, young ones, and they are not fulfilling the expectations of the supporters and that is creating, let’s say dissatisfaction.

“When you invest so much money and you bring in so many new players the risk is you don’t form a group because it is difficult. The players have to create a bond. It takes time.

“I hope the supporters understand the expectation level can’t be like it was four or five years ago. This is not the same team now. This team is forming itself. That is the problem at the moment,” he added.
