Drogba says what he thinks about Pochettino at Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino finds himself under extreme pressure from fans and media after the 4-2 defeat to Wolves.

Chelsea are apparently not willing to fire him but the frustration with the team's poor results and performances builds up. The Blues are currently 11th in the Premier League standings.

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has defended the Argentine, saying that the players need time to reach their peak.

“It is not an easy moment for the club but they have my support and my trust, because Chelsea is still Chelsea,” Drogba said, as quoted by the Evening Standard.

“Those young players came to Chelsea because we created a legacy and they want to be part of this legacy.

“Unfortunately there is no time in football but they will need time to adjust. You have to remember that when I joined Chelsea, the group of players were around 24, 25, 26, some of them 27, so were already there, ready for the game.

“They are still learning, they are still young. Give them time and when they reach their peak everybody will be like, ‘Wow, this is the new generation, the best team Chelsea have ever had’.

“It is just a matter of time and I hope the vision will be quite similar to what we had when Roman Abramovich bought the club. Everyone knows what Pochettino has done in the Premier League. He knows the League well and he is doing the best job possible.”
