‘Brilliant’ Mauricio Pochettino has already decided which formation he’s going to use at Chelsea this season
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to a report from The Athletic, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has decided to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation for the upcoming season. Pochettino has had success with this formation in the past, especially during his time at Tottenham.
The 4-2-3-1 system will allow the full-backs, such as Reece James and Ben Chilwell, to push high up the pitch, providing width and support in the attacking phase. The plan is to have a creative attacking midfielder, likely Christopher Nkunku, playing behind a high-pressing striker, potentially Armando Broja or Nicolas Jackson.
The report suggests that Pochettino has already started working on the tactical aspects of the formation with the Chelsea squad. The aim is to create consistency and stability in the Blues’ lineup, as there were many changes in system last season, which was challenging for the fans to follow.
The full-back options, especially Reece James and Ben Chilwell, are seen as major positives for Pochettino’s plans. Both players are considered among the best full-backs in the Premier League when they are fit and in good form. Journalist Simon Phillips has also claimed that Pochettino has been impressed with Chilwell since taking charge at Chelsea.
While it might take some time for all the pieces to fit together under Pochettino’s system, Chelsea fans are excited about the project he is mapping out for the squad, especially considering the attacking potential of the full-backs and the creative options in the midfield.
