Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino faces the prospect of losing his job after the ‘Wolverhampton disaster’.

Chelsea came from behind to defeat Wolverhampton 2-4 in the 23rd round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season at Stamford Bridge in London, England, on Thursday. Chelsea started well, taking the lead in the 19th minute through Cole Palmer.

But the celebration was short-lived. The Blues were quickly exploited by a one-man show from Mateusz Cunha. Cunha equalized in the 22nd minute.

Wolverhampton pulled one back in the 43rd minute through an own goal by Axel Disassi, and Cunha completed his hat-trick in the 18th and 37th minutes of the second half. Chelsea pulled a goal back in the 41st minute through Thiago Silva, but the gap was too much to overcome.

Chelsea drops to 11th place (31 points). 온라인카지노 Wolverhampton moved up to 10th place (32 points) despite the absence of star man Hwang Hee-chan, who is away at the Qatar Asian Cup.

Pochettino could not keep his head above water.

Chelsea had made black history by conceding another four goals in three days, following a 1-4 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool on the first day.

“We are all not good enough at the moment, that’s the reality,” he said, “myself included. I am the first one to blame for this situation. What we showed today is that we are not good enough,” he apologized.

Chelsea sacked managers Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter last season. At the last minute, legendary Frank Lampard took over as interim manager. Expectations were high for Pochettino, who took over last July, but the “journey of tears” is ongoing.

Pochettino says his “patience is not infinite” and that it is “only a matter of time” before the young Chelsea team grows, but his tenure is on “clock zero”.

He added: “We have not managed the situation properly. No one is safe. I don’t want to come here and say I’m the best and the players are the worst,” he said, “I think we are all responsible. I think we are all responsible, the players are responsible.”

Pochettino added: “At the moment we are not in line with the history of the club. We have to accept that and be critical, but we can’t give up,” he added.

Chelsea fans are calling for an immediate end to the ‘Pochettino horror show’. 실시간 바카라사이트 The alternatives are John Terry and Jose Mourinho.

John Terry is a legend who managed Chelsea in their heyday. He currently coaches Chelsea’s youth programs. Mourinho, who parted ways with AS Roma last month, has won three EPL titles and one FA Cup in his two stints with Chelsea.

Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with comments such as ‘Bring back John Terry and restore pride’, ‘Pochettino is worse than Porter and Lampard. Bring back John Terry,” “Bring back John Terry as a coach with Mourinho,” “Bring back John Terry as a coach with Mourinho,” etc.

Chelsea lost 2-4 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 23rd round of the 2023-2024 season at Stamford Bridge in London, England, at 11 p.m. ET on Thursday. It was Chelsea’s first loss at home to Wolverhampton since 1979. A whopping 45 years.

Chelsea struck first. In the 19th minute, Moises Caicedo’s pass found Cole Palmer, who had no trouble finishing.

But in the 22nd minute, Mateusz Cunha broke Chelsea’s back and it was all Wolverhampton from then on. Despite Chelsea’s dominance in terms of possession, 안전놀이터 the hosts were able to find the back of the net in the 43rd minute when Layan Ait-Nouri’s shot led to Axel Disassi’s own goal, and 18 minutes into the second half, Cunha’s right-footed strike made it 1-3.

To add insult to injury, Guisto fouled Cunha in the box in the 35th minute, conceding a penalty kick. Cunha stepped up to the spot and calmly slotted home his first professional hat trick.

Chelsea salvaged some dignity in the 41st minute when Thiago Silva scored from a corner kick. The game ended in a 2-4 defeat for Chelsea.

Five days after the game, Football London published a transcript of Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference.

Pochettino was asked how he would explain what happened today.

“It’s easy to understand. We weren’t bad when we scored the goal, but then we conceded and we tried to gather strength. We were trying to have confidence in the way we were playing, and then there were moments that were difficult to manage. Our energy dropped and we lost control of the situation,” he said.

He added: “The first half had a negative impact. In the second half, we had a chance to score, but then we conceded again and it became very difficult to control the situation.”

Asked if the players looked nervous, Pochettino said: “The pressure and stress of having to win, play well and perform was the main reason. When Palmer scored, there was no time to gain confidence. How we conceded those two goals…we shouldn’t have conceded those two goals.”

He added: “It’s always difficult when you play against a Premier League team. I think it had a big impact on the team after the Liverpool game. Everything is difficult,” he added.

Pochettino added: “This is the reality. “This is the reality, I am responsible for this situation, and what we showed is not good enough. I agree 100%. We didn’t manage the situation properly and no one is safe. I don’t want to say I’m the best. We all have to take responsibility.”

He added: “The same goes for the players. 파워볼실시간 They have to take responsibility, just like I have to take responsibility. What we have now is not in keeping with the history of our club. It’s a fact. We have to accept it, we have to be resilient, we have to not give up. We have to try to do it in a different way,” he said, emphasizing that the players are also responsible.

Meanwhile, Chelsea (31 points) failed to add to their points tally and lost 10th place to Wolverhampton, who have 32 points.

Manchester United defeated West Ham United 3-0 in the 23rd round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on April 4 at 11 p.m. ET.

Jesse Lingard, 32, has boarded a flight to South Korea.

“Jesse Lingard is heading to South Korea,” Sky Sports reported on the 5th (below).

Earlier, on the 2nd, the BBC’s dedicated Manchester United reporter Simon Stone said, “The former Manchester United and England national team midfielder is seriously considering an offer from FC Seoul.”

“The next stop for Lindegaard is South Korea’s FC Seoul,” Sky Sports reporter Fabrizio Romano reported, “and he is close to signing.”

Lingard, a midfielder born in 1992, joined the United youth team in 2000. He progressed through the ranks and signed a professional contract with the Red Devils in 2011, after which he spent time on loan at Leicester City, Birmingham City, and Brighton & Hove Albion.

It was during the 2015-2016 season that Lingard began to establish himself at United. Louis van Gaal, who was managing United at the time, used the youth product frequently, and he made 40 official appearances (32 starts) that season, scoring six goals and providing four assists.

In the 2016-2017 season, Lingard was also a key player under new manager Jose Mourinho. His prolific work-rate and diligent forward pressing and defensive work-rate kept him in the starting lineup. Although he lacked the technical ability of Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, 토토사이트 his main rivals for the position at the time, he played to his strengths, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 42 official appearances that season.

It was in the 2019-2020 season that Lingard’s position began to falter.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer used Lingard as often as any other manager at the time, but the arrival of playmaker Bruno Fernandes in January 2020 saw Lingard’s playing time steadily decline.

Eventually, he left on loan to West Ham United in the 2020-2021 winter transfer window.

It was a stroke of luck. During his short six-month loan spell, Lingard scored nine goals and provided five assists in 16 league appearances in a West Ham shirt. He was virtually the team’s “ace in the hole” and led West Ham to the UEFA Europa League.

A confident Lingard returned to United at the end of his loan, but once again, Mourinho turned him down. He eventually moved to Nottingham Forest in July 2022.

Lindegaard’s downward spiral continued. Despite being the highest paid player in the team, his on-field presence was minimal. Eventually, he was released by Nottingham in June 2023 and became a free agent.

Lingard was reportedly training with Inter Miami in August last year and was later linked with a move to West Ham. The move never materialized. In September, it was announced that he was training with Al Etihad in the Saudi Arabian Professional League, and a move seemed to be in the works.

After being linked with the likes of FC Barcelona and Everton, his next destination is now FC Seoul, as reported by Man Utd transfer market insider Simon Stone.

The news that a player who is still in his prime and was once a regular starter at United is heading to the K League is shocking to many soccer fans, both in Korea and abroad. Apart from the difference in the level of the league, there are many questions about how he resolved the salary issue and why he chose Seoul after rejecting the Saudi League.

In a phone conversation with OSEN on the 2nd, a Seoul official admitted, “We are in contact with Lingard,” and said, “Confidentially, a Seoul official checked Lingard’s condition in Manchester. Lingard has also checked the environment in Seoul. He is expected to arrive shortly.”

It appears that Lingard has indeed boarded a flight to Seoul. 사설 토토사이트 Sky Sports reported that “Lingard is flying out to finalize his move to Seoul. He has verbally agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Seoul.”

“He posted a picture on social media of himself checking in for the Korean Air flight at London’s Heathrow Airport. He will join FC Seoul in time for the preseason, with the club’s K League schedule kicking off on March 2 against Gwangju.”
