LONDON – With 56 yellow cards, FC Chelsea players are the most punished team in the English Premier League so far. Despite this, coach Mauricio Pochettino defends his charges – according to him, the reprimands are the result of great effort, not a sign of indiscipline.
“We are a big club. We face pressure. When you are frustrated, you make mistakes.” said Pochettino, whose team lost 1:2 at Wolverhampton on Sunday, according to the AFP agency. In the match, six players of the London club received a yellow card, including Cole Palmer, who will not be able to play in Wednesday’s home meeting with Crystal Palace due to a card penalty.
“Palmer got into the starting lineup for the first time only this season. It’s normal. Players care about results. They want to win and then they get frustrated. It’s not a question of discipline, in short, we have to read the game better,” stressed the coach of Chelsea, which is currently in tenth place in the league table. She scored 22 points in 18 games of the season.
