We need strikers, Chelsea, who spent 600 billion won, Pochettino, asked for another recruitment.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who currently sit 12th in the Premier League, has asked to sign a striker in the January winter transfer market.
On the 12th Korea time, "The Athletic" reported that coach Pochettino asked to sign a striker after last weekend's game against Everton, so Chelsea will make recruiting strikers a top priority in the winter transfer window in January.
Chelsea, who finished 12th last season, are well prepared for this season. He handed over the baton to coach Mauricio Pochettino, who led Tottenham to Champions League and Premier League runners-up, and signed four players including Moises Caicedo, Romero Rabia, Christopher Nkukuku, Cole Farmer, Axel Disasi, and Nicholas Jackson in this summer's transfer market, with an investment of more than 67 million euros (661 billion won). However, as of the 12th, it ranked 12th. There are more and more complaints from fans about the ranking remaining unchanged from last season. There are a lot of doubts about Coach Pochettino's leadership. The gap on leaders Liverpool has widened to 16 points and the team has been eliminated from title contention. The gap to fourth-placed Manchester City is also 14 points. The match against Everton on the 11th was a must-win battle to advance to the upper middle and upper reaches, but the team was eliminated with a score of 0-2.
Chelsea dominated the game on the day with 72 per cent possession but failed to find the back of the net due to a lack of scoring power. Only four of the 16 shots on goal were valid, while Everton converted five of their nine into valid shots. In addition, according to football statistics company footmob, there was not a single decisive scoring chance. The Chelsea attacker, who missed a number of chances to score, was not immune to harsh criticism. Armando Broja, who started as a striker, has a rating of 56 points, poor rating, and Jackson, who came off the bench and hit two shots, also had a rating of only 58 points. Jackson, with a relatively good record, scored six goals in 12 games, but was criticized for missing many scoring opportunities and lacking scoring ability. Substitute striker Armando Broja scored just one goal in 233 minutes without an assist. Another attacking option, Nkuku, missed a game due to injury.
Pochettino said in a post-match interview: "I'm really, really disappointed. We didn't get the points we deserved. We performed better, but we didn't get what we wanted. It's a game we need. We need to analyze reality. We need to discuss and work to improve the next transfer market," he said.
He also pointed to the problems with the strikers, saying: "We need to be in a different position in the standings. We played well against a very difficult team like Everton. We're much better than them, but we need goals. He continued: "At the end of the first half of the season, we have to take stock. That's the reality. If we're not good enough, we need to act. The sporting director has to analyze together to see if we can change that and improve in the second half of the season. We need to do more. We have to be aggressive. And then we have to do a massive assessment. We plan to see what we can do when the transfer window opens. I can "don't know if we're going to ask for more players or fewer players. Does this perception correspond to reality?"We need to check. We missed something. We need to improve the reality," he said when suggesting player recruitment.
According to The Athletic, "The team led by the likes of Todd Bowley is in a familiar position and must strengthen a team that lacks quality by recruiting talent from around the world. For this, they are again in a very vulnerable position to negotiate. Victor Osimhen said. "Considering his precarious relationship with Napoli and the fact that his contract is about to enter the final 18 months, he seems to be the most likely to be the number nine. But we don't know how high the position of Napoli president Arelio de Laurentiis is. He is known to be a difficult person to negotiate and he will be sure**. explained. He added: "Pochettino spoke in an urgent tone about his desire to bring in another striker in January after the defeat to Everton, which raised more questions. Despite Chelsea's enormous financial resources at the moment, they cannot argue that the transfer market can 'this is an example of the dangers of inaction in January'. Inaction in January could be a bold new approach for Boulley, and it may even be a more reasonable path," he said.
