The start of the season for Chelsea (10th in the Premier League) is frankly sluggish despite a new transfer window where expensive recruits have flocked. Mauricio Pochettino is still struggling to find the right formula and is not helped by the numerous injuries which plague a fragmented squad. The last matches between a victory against Tottenham (4-1) and a draw against Manchester City are reason for hope for the future but for Florent Malouda, the Blues are still unrecognizable. “I don’t really recognize them, apart from the color of the jersey”begins the 2006 world vice-champion on the podcast of his former teammate John Obi Mikel entitled Obi One.
According to the former Chelsea player (between 2007 and 2013), it is the management that must be blamed. “It takes time to build something, but since the new owner came in, I don’t see any stability from the management. I don’t want to talk about the players they choose, they have their own process, but from the management there is no stability yet, no clarity. (…) I don’t understand the project. And above all, I think the players don’t understand it either.warns the winner of the 2012 Champions League.
