Pochettino wants to deliver trophy for Chelsea
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has urged his Chelsea players to “fight” and be “aggressive” as he looks to mark his first season with a trophy.
The Blues will secure a Carabao Cup semi-final if they defeat Newcastle in an all-Premier League tie on Tuesday.
“We want to deliver for the club and for the fans,” said Pochettino, who took charge last summer.
“It’s a priority when you’re at Chelsea to win a title, it’s important so it’s in our mind and objectives.”
Chelsea have struggled for consistency under Pochettino and sit 10th in the Premier League, 12 points off the top four.
Pochettino failed to deliver a major trophy during five years in charge of Tottenham.
His side will have to overcome last season’s runners-up if they are to take a step closer to the EFL Cup final.
“Of course I want to win a trophy here in England, and win one with Chelsea if we have the opportunity,” added the Argentine.
“My wish and desire is to win and it’s possible.
“We need to respect our opponents, Newcastle are going to be tough, we need to deserve to go through.”
