Pochettino says Chelsea must ‘grow up like a team’

The Hindu  

Chelsea’s poor start to the Premier League season continued with a 1-0 home defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday, and manager Mauricio Pochettino said they must “grow up like a team”. The Argentine’s expensively assembled side have not scored in their last three games and sit 14th with just one win in six matches, making it their worst start to a campaign since 1978. “We need to grow up like a team, not only in an individual way,” Pochettino said. Tottenham leaving Spursy tag behind, says Maddison “That’s why we feel disappointed as there are too many situations like this.” Pochettino said Chelsea’s U.S. owners, who have spent close to one billion pounds on new players since acquiring the club last year, are “disappointed” with the results but added that “they need to support the plan”.
