Mauricio Pochettino emphasized the importance of Chelsea grasping the requirements of playing in the Premier League following their victory against Manchester United.

Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, was overjoyed as he celebrated his team’s victory over Manchester United in the Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. The match was a rollercoaster ride, with Chelsea taking an early 2-0 lead, only to see United come back and take a 3-2 lead. However, Cole Palmer came to the rescue for Chelsea, scoring two stoppage-time goals to secure a remarkable victory.

Pochettino admitted that his players still have a lot to learn about the demands of competing in the Premier League. He had criticized them for falling into a “comfort zone” before the match, following their 2-2 draw against Burnley. After the win against United, Pochettino justified his comments, stating that he had conveyed the same message to the players during training.

The Chelsea manager emphasized the youthfulness of his squad, stating that while some players have experience, most of them are young and still need to understand the high demands of the club. He stressed the importance of always striving to do more and not underestimating any opponent.

Palmer was the standout player for Chelsea, scoring a crucial hat-trick against United, with his two stoppage-time goals sealing the victory. The 21-year-old has been praised as a “wonderful talent” by Rio Ferdinand, an expert from TNT Sports. Pochettino echoed this sentiment, highlighting the strong connection he established with Palmer from the beginning and praising the player’s character and mentality.

Chelsea, currently in 10th place in the Premier League table, will face Sheffield United in their next match on Sunday.
