Mauricio Pochettino has doubled down on the defence of his Chelsea side after Gary Neville called them 'blue billion-pound bottle jobs' following the Carabao Cup defeat.
“It's like Gary, my friend, what you did you do? His opinion now is like always around and around, come on," the boss said Chelsea defeated Leeds on Wednesday.
"We can't agree about that. With all my love to Gary, it's not fair to use these type of words about a team that is so brave and a club that always fights for big things.
"What can we do? Now only with this type of performance we can only show that we are brave and can win games. Nothing to say, only to keep moving.
"It's not important for the team, not important for us, because we know how we are and how we behave.
"And why we lost the game against Liverpool is nothing to do with this. It's different things. You need to accept all opinions.
"But that's not for us. We know we're brave, we're working really hard. If people want to go around and around and around with this comment, for us it's not an important comment. It's sorry, you were wrong but nothing to say. Respect your opinion and move on."
