“A message to all poch players” – Fabrizio Romano now says Pochettino is using £30m Chelsea player as an example
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, is utilizing Noni Madueke as an example to convey a message to the entire squad, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Pochettino excluded Madueke from Chelsea’s squad for a recent Carabao Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion due to a video surfacing of the winger participating in festivities while recovering from an injury. Romano, in his Substack column, notes that this disciplinary action was a deliberate move by Pochettino to send a clear message to all his players.
Madueke, a young talent acquired by Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in a £30 million deal, is currently 21 years old. While he hasn’t secured a starting position in the Premier League this season, it’s important to remember that he is at a stage in his career where mistakes are likely to occur. The crucial aspect is his ability to learn from these experiences.
However, should Madueke fail to learn and adjust, his aspirations for a successful Chelsea career under Pochettino might face challenges. Pochettino has made it evident that certain behaviors will not be tolerated. Moreover, with other wingers in the Chelsea squad finding their form, breaking into the starting XI will be a formidable task for Madueke.
Nonetheless, it’s hoped that Madueke comprehends the message from his manager and seizes a genuine opportunity to showcase his abilities, possibly in the upcoming match against Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup.
