Head coach of London's Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino commented on his team's defeat in the first match of the 1/2 final of the English League Cup against Middlesbrough (0:1).

" We took a lot of chances in the first half, gave them chances to score, and then the opponent became aggressive and cruel. The stinks are playing with swift counterattacks and even deeper at the defense, and it was easy for us to break through. We have a lot of chances to score, but we didn’t score, it’s football. We are disappointed, but the whole thing is less than half of the time. We need to be positive.

We accepted a lot of pardons, and we were punished for it, football is like that. We need to attack. If you evaluate the game, then we will tell you the truth. We created more chances and few clear chances. They didn't score. This season had a lot of games, but we didn’t win due to lack of implementation. We don't get any goals, but we create chances. We create a lot of chances, but we don’t score them, and if you don’t score, it’s difficult to overcome.

We have 14 days left and we can renew our residents. I'm sorry, the deeds of the graves can help, otherwise we still have one more game, and we need to wake up.

We are thinking about Fulgem, we will collapse in the future. Another gra is checking on us, similar to qiu. We have 90 points for the game, and we will try to score and win the match. And if not, then this will be our mercy. We are disappointed. We have 90 buildings on Stamford Bridge, and in the next two years we will discover what we can change reality,” Pochettino quotes the BBC.
