Mauricio Pochettino Happy Chelsea Finally Win

JAKARTA Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino was happy after his team won over Brighton & Hove Albion in the third round of the Carabao Cup or the English League Cup. This victory is also considered to provide moral injections for their future steps.

The Blues entered the match against The Seagulls by sitting in 14th place in the Premier League standings and failing to score in their last three matches.

Chelsea responded several times to their luck in the first half scoring as soon as the second half started with Nicolas Jackson's fine finish, which was his second goal since arriving from Villarreal.

After the match, Pochettino was reluctant to praise the performance of Nicolas Jackson who scored goals and Cole Palmer who provided assists. The Argentine coach prefers to praise his team's performance after the last few weeks of continuing criticism and spotlight.

"Good response from the team, I am very happy with our performance again and now happy with the win and it is important to qualify in the competition and build our trust and momentum. I hope we can bring this momentum to the future," said Pochettino quoted from Football London.

However, the former Tottenham Hotspur leader still appreciates Jackson and Palmer's performances. According to him, scoring goals is very important for Jackson, who plays as a striker to raise confidence.

While Cole (Palmer) is a very talented player, he is the key to tonight's win. Still young, still needs to adapt to the club, not just in the team, in clubs and cities. I think we'll see today how good he is," added Pochettino.

Chelsea will have their home game against Blackburn Rovers in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup or the English League Cup which is scheduled to take place starting October 30. While in the Premier League, the Blues will travel to Fulham on October 3.
