Mauricio Pochettino is coming. One of the things he'll bring to Chelsea is an ethos and culture that players and management can buy into. And if they hop on board, their ceiling is limitless, writes JackPittBrooke.
that November is still one of Pochettino’s favourite moments of his five-plus years in north London because it kick-started the shared belief that Spurs were finally heading in the right direction.There was not too much change at the start of that first season but after a few months it became clear who was buying in and who was not. And for a manager like Pochettino, you are either fully on board with his work or not on board at all.
Adebayor and Assou-Ekotto were among the senior Spurs players who soon found themselves out of favour under Pochettino It is a very organised style — only Pep Guardiola has a more rigid approach to it — and it requires hours of coaching to perfect. But watch a Pochettino team in full flight and you can see its hallmarks: the precise way they play out from the back, with the centre-backs splitting and dropping, the full-backs providing width, and the attacking players taking the right positions to provide options in the final third. Possession is a means to dominate, but never the end in itself.
