Pochetino: I hope the players will fight for their position, otherwise the door to leave is open.

Live Bar, August 19-up to 20 players in the Chelsea team will have contracts with the team at least until 2028. coach Pochetino reminded those players with long appointments in an interview, I hope their performance can meet the expectations of the club, fight for their position and live up to expectations.

Pochetino: “No matter the talented players or the players bought by the club, they must prove that they are worthy of the game every day. My job is to treat everyone in the team equally and equally. The team signed an eight-year contract with a player. Yogueta didn’t participate in it well, then he wouldn’t play.

“This is the decision we made. They need to believe our decision and we will do our best. If you have an eight-year contract as a player, you need to have a sense of responsibility and show our respect and expectation for them. Otherwise, they will not play.

“Players can’t feel lost (when they can’t play),(in this case) we will have the same reaction to players. Because if we have signed an eight-year contract with a player, the player is not willing to act according to our expectations and does not want to play, that is his reason rather than ours. (However) both the club and us will be disappointed.

“The players need to do their best to show what we think and what they have.”

Although Chelsea’s bloated squad has been reduced compared with the previous season, the number of players is still quite large.

Speaking of this, Pochetino added: “The players are not happy (for the fierce competition). If they don’t want to fight for their position and don’t think they are part of the team on or off the court, then the door is open.

“(On the contrary) if the players make it clear that they need to fight for their position (and through hard work), it is very simple. (decide who will play) it will be enough for the coaching staff.

“If the head coach does not get the support of the boss and the sports director, you cannot clearly understand the current situation. This is also why for some very successful clubs, the support of the head coach is a crucial factor. If this is not the case, it will be very difficult.”
