Mauricio Pochettino returned to the slump of Mykhaylo Mudryk, relegated to the sidelines with Chelsea.
Mykhaylo Mudryk has embodied Chelsea politics since the arrival of Todd Boehly at the head of the club. Last winter, the Blues did not hesitate to spend nearly 100 million euros to secure the services of the Ukrainian winger. For the moment, the 23-year-old does not confirm the hopes placed on him. Despite some flashes, Mudryk fails to establish himself and has even disappeared from the starting lineup in recent weeks. Author of four small goals and two assists in 24 matches in all competitions, Mudryk is struggling.
“It’s not tennis” tackles Pochettino
Beyond his lackluster performance, the player’s attitude seems to be a problem. At a press conference, Mauricio Pochettino made a point of calling him to order: “Now he is on the bench. It’s about fitness, whether you stay in shape and perform at your best in every workout. It’s a question of meritocracy. He has incredible qualities and potential, but it’s a team game, it’s not tennis ». With the return of Christopher Nkunku, Mykhaylo Mudryk will have to question himself to shake up the hierarchy.
