Mauricio Pochettinocoach of Chelseais trying to restore the forward’s confidence Mykhailo Mudryk playing with him to hit the crossbar from outside the area. The Ukrainian, who joined Chelsea for around 70 million in January, has played 22 games for the ‘Blues’, but has not scored a goal in this time. To get the footballer back, Pochettino has proposed a curious game to him.
“With Mudryk I like to play sometimes to hit the crossbar from outside the area,” Pochettino said before hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup. “He told me: “I don’t want to play with you anymore because you always beat me.” And I replied: “Yes, I beat you because I have faith and the perfect balance of faith and quality.” I know this very well because I am 50 years old. “You are still young and you have to know yourself,” Pochettino added.
“Today was the first day in which we tied, because he always won. I told him that now is when he has to start believing in himself and his quality. If not, it is difficult to have that balance.”
Mudryk arrived at Chelsea after a soap opera with Arsenal and after half a season with Shakhtar Donetsk in which he scored ten goals in 18 games, which made his jump to the Premier possible. However, Mudryk has not yet met expectations and has not benefited from Chelsea’s disastrous year, which has not improved with the new season. Those from Stamford Bridge have achieved five points out of a possible 18 and have only scored five goals in six games.
