‘This is not how big clubs wins game,they even celebrated as if they’ve won the league already meanwhile they’ve not’: Chelsea boss Pochettino says Arsenal joy will be cut short soon and they will be trophyless this season again
In a passionate address following Chelsea’s recent match, Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s manager, didn’t shy away from criticizing Arsenal’s exuberant celebrations. He implied that Arsenal’s premature jubilation would soon be overshadowed by the harsh reality of going trophyless.
Pochettino, renowned for his frankness, didn’t sugarcoat his words during the press conference. “This isn’t the hallmark of winning clubs,” he remarked with a hint of disappointment. “They acted as if they’ve clinched the league title, when in fact, they haven’t even reached the finish line.”
His comments followed Arsenal’s enthusiastic reaction to a recent win, where players and fans celebrated with gusto. However, Pochettino swiftly reminded everyone that success in football is gauged not by momentary triumphs, but by sustained excellence throughout a season.
“True champions stay focused and composed, never losing sight of their ultimate objective,” Pochettino emphasized. “Premature celebrations only serve as distractions from the task ahead.”
With a subtle dig at their North London rivals, Pochettino hinted that Arsenal’s joy would be short-lived, predicting they would once again end the season empty-handed. “Elite clubs approach every game with purpose and determination, understanding that every point counts in the pursuit of trophies,” he pointed out.
While Pochettino’s words might intensify the rivalry between Chelsea and Arsenal, they also underscore the lofty expectations at top-tier football clubs. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on both teams to see if Arsenal’s early celebrations were premature or if they can defy Pochettino’s forecast and achieve success in their quest for glory.
