Hair loss, stock exchanges, and farms- Mauricio Pochettino on Chelsea on struggles.

Mauricio Pochettino has called for perspective on the struggles of his Chelsea team, insisting ! I can’t lose my hair” over recent poor results.

Sunday’s 4-2 loss at home to Wolves was the 10th in the League since the 51-year-old arrived in the summer and triggered the first audible signs of discontent from fans towards the manager. Afterwards Pochettino appeared to suggest he believed the players were not good enough to arrest the club’s slide, though he has since clarified he was referring only to the performance in the defeat to Gary O’Neil’s side.

Chelsea was outrun and outthought by Wolves who, despite seeing their host enjoy greater ball possession, were conformably the more threatening team and they cut through the Blues with relative ease en route to a first win at Stamford Bridge since 1979.

It drew an angry response from supporters near the dugout who booed the players off at halftime and again at the final whistle as the Blues dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table. It followed a meek 4-12 collapse away to Liverpool in their previous fixture. However, Pochettino insisted it was important for a coach in his position to retain a sense of enjoyment in the job even in trying times.

Football is my passion, not my job, he said sometimes we say job but it is the wrong word. Football is entertainment. If I don’t think like this, I need to go into another position, being a sporting director CEO, or president. Being a coach, I need to keep a sense of why I am here. we cannot suffer because of business and other things. we need to be focused on playing football.

To be focused on football, you need to feel free in mind. You cannot be affected because of the stock in New York or Tokyo, or the weather, or because the farm doesn’t grow. That is why I keep my hair like this I don’t suffer from things that I am not in charge of. I only differ with football, in trying to improve the players, to provide them with a good platform to win games.

If there is no rain on my hair, you kill the business of the farm. That is a tree. You can lose your hair. But I cannot lose my hair because were are not winning because the opponent was better than us. With 15 League games to go, Chelsea are just one place higher in the table than they finished last season in what was wildly acknowledged to be an appalling campaign.

They travel to Aston Villa on Wednesday for an FA Cup fourth-round replay. I didn’t finish, 12th last year, Chelsea did said Pochettino. It is a different squad to last year, with many changes. If you want to compare to damage us, to compare things I think is impossible. You can compare to try to damage if you want to make a problem. But to analyze and put all the circumstances. I don’t think that before was better or worse. It’s difficult to compare because we are on another project.
