Mauricio Pochettino has come in support of Nicolas Jackson after Chelsea played against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Sengalese forward did not have a good game against Wolves. Because of this, fans criticized him after he was leaving the field for substitution. Moreover, the fans were full of anger due to the fact that Jackson missed so many chances during the match. Fans are not very happy after his arrival from Villarreal this summer window. They expected him to score goals but he hasn’t been able to do so. In addition to that, Chelsea have lost fourth consecutive away game this season. Because of this, the fans are even more angry as they expect the team to start winning matches after a rough start to the season.
According to the4thofficial, Mauricio Pochettino has backed the 22 year old forward despite his performance. He believes that it was the team’s collective performance that cost them the match. He urged the fans to not to blame a single player but to blame the whole team. Although Chelsea lost the match, still there was a positive moment for them in the match. Christopher Nkunku scored his first official premier league goal. That’s a headstart for the player as he was out from the team for almost half of the season due to his injury.
Mauricio Pochettino has come forward to defend Nicolas Jackson’s situation.
The Argentine coach has come forward to support Nicolas Jackson. He was speaking to various media outlets after the match against Wolves.
“If we compare Nicolas Jackson to other players of his situation, he’s still scored goals for the club. He’s just having his first season. He must be in heavy pressure due to the expectations of the fans and the management as well. He needs some time to adapt to the premier league and then he’ll be good to go. Moreover, he’s got 7 goals for us and that’s quite reasonable for a player who is in his debut season. We’ve lost as a team. Don’t blame one player, blame us all.” – Mauricio Pochettino said.
