Chelsea manager wants his players to be aggressive in the field
Chelsea has faced a challenging start to the season. Having secured just one victory, one draw, and suffered two defeats in their initial four games. Hence, this puts added significance on the upcoming match against Bournemouth, making it a crucial fixture that they’ll be eager to win.
Manager Pochettino has encouraged his players to exhibit a controlled aggressiveness that could make a positive impact. He conveyed to reporters, “If you watch the Forest game, they won and deserved it.”
“But the way that we concede the goal… a team that is going to be involved in European competitions or play to win the Premier League, we cannot concede this type of goal. We need to be more aggressive in this type of situation.”
“We need to set principles on how we play from the back and press, the evolution of the system. The dynamic of playing with two defenders or three, how many in the middle and how we’re going to attack in the right areas.”
