Graham Potter, short-lived Chelsea manager, returned to the conditions which made his time there a failure. Let him take complete responsibility.
Graham Potter completely assumes
Graham Potter was asked about his time at Chelsea. The English technician has completely accepted his failure with the Blues: “I take responsibility for the results. I never said I was perfect. We live and we learn, and we are grateful for the opportunity and the experience we had there. But there is probably a context that has arisen. The easy solution is that Chelsea aren’t winning, so the manager who has never worked at this level before is the problem. It may not be 100% wrong, but it’s not 100% right. » he declared in the columns of Telegraph.
14 matches in six weeks
Graham Potter recognizes that this particular season with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was also a reason for the difficulties encountered by Chelsea in reconstruction: “ There were 14 matches in six weeks before the World Cup. It’s like you’re in a washing machine, that’s what we said in the staff, because the matches kept coming and we had no preparation time or anything. whatever. We lost Reece and Wesley to injury. I think we had the most players at the World Cup and shortly after we lost Raheem and Christian Pulisic » he added.
No time to adapt to the Premier League for rookies
And to conclude: “ Then the owners decided to invest a lot of money into the team, £300 million in the January transfer window. If you’re spending £300 million on players who come from outside the Premier League, from countries that take a mid-season break, you can’t imagine that they’re going to get to work and everything will go well« .
