Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
One defeat too many for Pochettino? Yesterday, Arsenal hosted Chelsea for a decisive shock in the title race, the Blues wanting to play a dirty trick on their neighbor in the London derby. But the Gunners were far too strong for Cole Palmer’s teammates. After holding on for a half while being down 1-0, Mauricio Pochettino’s men completely collapsed in the second half, conceding four goals in the space of 18 minutes for a heavy 5-0 defeat.
“The team gave up”
After the meeting, the Argentinian technician appeared particularly upset. He did not hesitate to point the finger at his players for the poor performance: “We spoke at half-time about the fact that it was not possible to start the match like that. But we started badly again ( in the second period). We conceded two goals and at that moment the team gave up. We were not in the match,” he complained, before continuing. “Today, you can use any word to describe our performance. Our standards are not maintained on bad days. When we have bad days, we are so bad. When we are good, we are able to All”. The message has the merit of being clear.
