Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea manager, rejects Liverpool comparisons, saying it’s unfair
Mauricio Pochettino has downplayed Chelsea’s chances of winning the Premier League title next season. According to the manager, even if Chelsea have no European football to contend with, they won’t be challenging for the title.
Pochettino has faced questions on whether a second successive year without European football could benefit his side, similar to what happened to Liverpool, but he argued that his ‘project’ is at a different stage and can’t be compared to Conte or Brendan Rodgers’ situations. Pochettino emphasized that his focus is on winning the next game and being competitive, without setting specific objectives that could lead to frustration if not achieved.
