THE Mikaylo Mudrik acquired by Chelsea last January for €103 million, with the Ukrainian midfielder underperforming so far, scoring just four goals in 41 appearances in all competitions.
In statements made by the “blue” coach, Mauricio Pochettinostood in his case, pointing out that he needs to keep his form for a long time, while he spoke in the best words about his talent.
“He was a key player in the semi-final against Middlesbrough, which was one of the most important games for us. Yes, it’s on the bench now. This is about form during the season, you have to stay in shape and try to be the best you can be during every training session.
As a coaching team, we look to have a meritocracy. We put the footballers who give their best on the pitch to play“, the Argentinian coach initially said and continued:
“I believe Mudrik is a young kid who came here a year ago. We know the circumstances surrounding the transfer. Of course it needs to be improved. He has amazing quality and potential but football is a team sport, it’s not tennis.
We have players who will have to perform within the set. If you see him, he’s awesome, but he’ll have to adapt and play for the team. He needs to adapt and that takes time“, were, characteristically, his words Pochettino.
