What has Mauricio Pochettino said?

Speaking after Chelsea’s win over Wrexham, Pochettino said: “Like always after a pre-season game, I’m happy because of the attitude,’ the Argentine coach explained after the win. ‘But, of course, it is time to improve.

“I think it is part of the process in this period to learn in the way we want to play and, of course, build the physical condition also. I am happy with the performance.

“I think the most important thing now is to get positive feelings and to start to play again after the holidays. All the players came in at different levels and now it is about putting them all at similar levels to try to compete for the season.”

Speaking about the young players, he added: “It is good to have the opportunity to see all these young guys who can show their quality. It is important for them and for us to have a real assessment.
