Chelsea players in for 'horrible' surprise: what pre-season training under Mauricio Pochettino looks like

Telegraph

 has now officially taken over as the new 

a manager, overseeing a training session on Monday.

, the Stamford Bridge stars are 'in for a surprise' as they are about to discover the Argentine's coaching methods.

, described the preparation as 'horrible' to the manager's gruelling approach to pre-season.

Pochettino will be focused on building the players' strength and the recipe is quite simple: 'running, running and more running' that could result in a breakdown.

'Let's go lads, 2023 reset': Chelsea fans go crazy as Mauricio Pochettino era officially begins

 officially starting his tenure as manager on Monday.

And Stamford Bridge fans want to put the disastrous 2022/23 campaign behind them and start looking to the future under the Argentine. 

 "Happy to have Poch! When the manager process started I wanted either Poch or 

 "GET THE F*** IN. Let's go lads and lassies — 2023 reset. Out with the bad. In with the new. Back to Europe. Back to the old Blues we know. Let's go!"

 "He has that look doesn't he? Hopefully he does well. I won't even mind missing out on the top 4 if he has us playing good football and scoring goals, and everyone plays like a solid team. Last two seasons have been woeful to watch. Boring possession football with tons of mediocre finishing."

 "WELCOME. Today is the first day of project resurgence. Let's go!"

 "This coming season hopefully we see a new style and direction under Poch. With a now very young squad, it should be much easier for the players to buy into Pochs's ways and methods. We have to expect the odd defeat with such a young squad, but with time I really feel Poch can turn us into a real force!"

 "F*** me I shouldn't be this excited yet but it really feels like a clean slate new manager, clear out of deadwood, snakes. Reading about how Poch and his team have planned to start off seems so different."

'We need leaders': Mauricio Pochettino wants his Chelsea players to step up next season

 said: "The expectation [of the players] is for them to be open and to let us manage. They need for us, first of all, to create a platform so they can feel comfortable here. They need to have their space and feel important.

 the best tools for the players to be successful, to improve individually and collectively. We have the experience and together we can create a fantastic journey. That is what we want: to be together, to work together, and be part of this football club.

"If we are all together, we are going to be very strong. We have an unbelievable squad and for sure are going to bring players with commitment who want to be part of it also. With the fans and everyone, we can find again the way to be successful. It's so important, and that is our philosophy.

"We need to work together, and all need to feel important. Football has changed in the last few years, it is important in every single area to have people with quality and the capacity to push and be better. We need leaders, not followers, in every single area and we will push every person to bring their best."

Chelsea's squad underperformed massively last season and Pochettino will be tasked with restoring the winning culture at Stamford Bridge.

With the squad clear out underway this summer, the Argentine will have few excuses not to deliver when the 2023/24 campaign gets underway.

PkwabenaQ

that is why they are receiving the kind of money they are receiving, watch Man City team the players are always running pressing , recovery ball when opponent are in possession of the ball,

victor Izebhor

Oh well we can all agree that the team lacks competitive spirt and if he can put that in them through his training methods then I would say that’s a good thing. It’s their job and Simone needs to push them to do it at their best.
