POCHETTINO reacts post-match | Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea | Premier League 2023/24

Merio, a difficult night, how do you summarize what you saw tonight? Really disappointed because I saw the way you start the game never happened. The situation started so soft, so sloppy and I think we didn't compete from the beginning. ConEd the goal and then maybe we in the game created some opportunities, but in the second half we started with the same victory in the first half and when we consider the second goal, the third goal, I think the team gave up and started to Losing faith in trying to go for the game and, of course, Arsenal fighting for the Premier League hurts us.

After that, you mentioned the chances created and the response after that first goal was good going into halftime, right? Yes, I see that yes, when we finished the first half, I think we were positive in trying to start the second half in a better way, but again I think the way we conceded two goals so early. Second half, I think so, and then it was very difficult to deal with the game, manage the game. How much of that comes down to experience? I know we've talked about the age, the experience of this team. How much of that does it boil down to? naivety to experiment no, it's about the experience, of course, to help the player because he needs to compete again, circumstances are circumstances and we can't change the circumstances, but I think it's about giving them the support and supporting them and trying to be ready again to compete on Saturday.

You mention where Arsenal are in the table at the moment. Is this an illustration of where we want to be and aspire to be in the coming seasons? Yes, but right now it's difficult. It is true that after. The game we are so disappointed in is really painful but we need to think positively to try to be smart in the way you strategize to get high in the position in the future with that in mind how do you emotionally lift up the players after a night like this and now you're about to spend the night trying to get it back and tomorrow we'll start talking about moving on and trying? to see why we don't compete and of course start the week preparing for the next game because the competition is not waiting for you finally, so with that in mind, what do you expect, what do you want to see from your players?

In the last weeks of the season, the reaction is always to be together, it is always to show that we are a team, like on Saturday, we showed great confidence and a great ability to compete again, one of the best teams in the world. is to compete again in this way
