Pochettino's diagnosis of Chelsea's decline as "the players are too short"
The reason for the slump is being sought in the players’ height.
Chelsea's fall is not unusual. We spent a huge amount of money to bring in a lot of talented players, but it was no use.
Currently, the winning rate is less than 50% with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses. With 26 points scored and 26 conceded, the balance between offense and defense was lost. The ranking is 12th in the Premier League. It's been a long time since we left the top 4.
Chelsea began a major reinforcement of its strength after the club owner was changed to Todd Boeri in May last year. So far, 1 billion pounds (approximately 1.65 trillion won) has been spent on player recruitment alone. But it has no effect at all. The rankings are the same as last season.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino takes issue with the short stature of his players. The British media 'Daily Mail' reported on the 12th (Korean time), "Pochettino will argue that football has something to do with height. In the most recent game, the loss to Everton, there was only one player taller than 6 feet (about 183 cm) in the starting lineup. There were 4 players. In particular, the midfield lacks height. Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Conor Gallagher are all short. They have difficulty handling aerial balls in the midfield. Coach Pochettino is also aware of this problem. Next winter transfer market. “We will raise the topic of recruiting a tall player with the club’s leadership,” he announced.
However, it is questionable whether Coach Pochettino will be able to bring in the players he wants in next winter's transfer market. Chelsea are under pressure from Financial Fair Play (FFP).
This means that it is no longer difficult to spend a large amount of money on recruiting players. This is why Chelsea youth players Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were sold.
'Daily Mail' also said, "Chelsea will control wage bills more strictly in the future. They are reluctant to give individual players more than 150,000 pounds (about 248 million won) a week. Of course, there are bound to be problems in recruiting players." He said.
