Chelsea Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino has praised his players after they smashed Newcastle 3-2 in an eye-catching tie last night, adding that his side are building “a huge project.”
The former Tottenham & PSG boss said this amid performance struggles within the blues squad since the start of the season.
The West London team currently sit at number 10 on the Premier League table, despite winning last night’s encounter.
Addressing journalists after his side’s victory, Pochettino said Chelsea have young players who should be given time to improve and adapt to the English Premier League (EPL).
“I think we need to understand that we are in a project that’s completely different. Some people can be confused. We are a different Chelsea, we are building something different. We need to keep believing,” said the Argentine national.
Pochettino also heaped praise on the remarkable performances of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Mudryk, insisting that the blues would work hard until they reach their best.

“Cole Palmer showed his quality, and it’s good to have him on the squad and in the team. A player that can link the game. He’s doing fantastic and getting more mature every day.
“On Nicolas Jackson, I think with more games and experience, he will be calm in front of the goal and hopefully more clinical.
“Mudryk’s goal was a very good goal, and that is what we expect from the players who come from the bench, an impact.” said Pochettino, expressing his joy.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will face EPL leaders Arsernal on a date to be confirmed before facing Burnley on March 30.
