French player N’Golo Kanté of Chelsea announced on Instagram that he had renewed his partnership with Adidas a few days after taking part in the introduction of the official Euro 2020 ball in London. The player only stated, “The adventure continues,” and no filter was applied to the contract period or cost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After much speculation, the French international has now confirmed that he will be signing with Puma, a sportswear brand. During the Blues’ December training, Kanté did, in fact, wear Puma One crampons.

аttаck-minded midfielder with Kante-like skills

It came as a shоck to many supporters when Enzo Fernandez was benched on Saturday.

We needed to rest him because we have two major games this week, and it’s true that his form has declined recently, but it’s still a problem. It was a gаmble to start a game without your best passing midfielder against Sheffield United, who would almost certainly sit deep.

However, there isn’t just one approach of unparking a bus or skinning a cat. You have two options: either emulate Enzo’s deft passing or go the Conor Gallagher route.In addition to his five interceptions and eleven “ball recoveries,” the midfielder had a stellar defensive performance. After he won the ball, he would rush forwards on his own, setting up his team to score before Sheffield United could regroup.

It was lacking in Kante-like qualities, but one is hesitant to draw such sweeping analogies.

Mauricio Pochettino admits his Chelsea side ‘are our own worst enemies’ after ‘soft’ display in their last meeting with Newcastle… as he targets reve𝚗ge in Carabao Cup quarter-final against the Magpies

Mauricio Pochettino expressed his disappointment when Chelsea, who he called “our own worst enemies,” were eliminated from the Carabao Cup, along with Manchester City and Arsenal.

On Tuesday night, the quarterfinals will take place between Chelsea and Newcastle. Last month, in the Premier League, the London club’s self-destruction was on full display in their match against Newcastle. Pochettino slammed his players for being “soft” after a 4-1 second-half collapse that resulted in Reece James’s second yellow card.

When asked about the elimination of the ‘Big Six’ teams from Monday’s Carabao Cup, Pochettino expressed his displeasure, saying, “I am not so happy because if you want to win the competition, you need to win the competition against us.”Oftentimes, we sabоtage our own success. We are prepared to compete and figҺt in every action, prevail in duels, and out-anticipate them in terms of speed and strength.

“Right now, we’re facing internal struggles to improve as a team.”“I don’t know who people are saying “Mickey Mouse Cup” but to be honest with you, we are not feeling this way,” Pochettino stated when asked about Chelsea’s significance of the Carabao Cup.

I think it’s a fantastic chance to win. I have witnessed the celebrations of winning this cup for over a decade. We intend to achieve this goal. Like we’re playing for our lives or a championship, we’re going all out and putting out our strongest team.Pochettino, an Argentinian coach who is attempting to win a trophy for the first time in English football, stated on Monday that winning the trophy would meаn more to Chelsea as a team than to him personally. They have spent a lot of money without winning a trophy since the Club World Cup in February 2022.

“You need to be in the right club, at the right moment, with all of the elements to win,” Pochettino added. “Winning titles is not a prerequisite for being an elite manager.”You must evaluate each project individually and determine whether you can make progress or not, or whether you can complete the task to everyone’s expectations. I have faith in the idea, and I think it will be a great asset to the club, therefore it’s more important for them than for us.

Tottenham, under Pochettino’s leadership, advanced to the Carabao Cup final in 2015 before falling to Chelsea, coached by Jose Mourinho, 2-0. At the beginning of each season, Mourinho would assure reporters that this tournament was a major chance to win hardware.

Pochettino spoke about their first final in 2015 against Mourinho and Chelsea, which was nine months after they went to Tottenham. That was how it was for us. It is applicable to all clubs and all coaches. As a club like Chelsea, your focus should be on winning trophies.

James, Chelsea’s captain, hurt his hamstring in last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Everton. The club is still deciding whether or not to operate on him.

They may get a substitution out of £52 million summer acquisition Christopher Nkunku on Tuesday if he continues to show improvement in training following knee surgery.
