At the start of the week, Mauricio Pochettino was able to discover the infrastructure of the Blues for the first time. On the menu: visit of the Stamford Bridge, interviews with the English press or even a press conference. The Argentinian seemed delighted with the idea of joining the London capital, despite the immense reconstruction work that awaits him. Among them, operating the Mykhaylo Mudryk machine. Author of an excellent u21 tournament with Ukraine with two remarkable performances against the France team (3-1) then against Spain (5-1), the twirling winger was full of confidence before to reunite with Chelsea for an important pre-season.
Recruited for €70m from Shakhtar last winter, “Misha” still has everything to prove to the world. In the Premier League, the 22-year-old crack showed interesting flashes, but also significant shortcomings in the last gesture in particular. Nothing surprising for a player who discovers the elite of European football. So, to better understand the Ukrainian, The Mirror announces that Mauricio Pochettino has planned to meet the winger before the pre-season to learn more about his profile and his person. “I would really like to see him and get to know him, then with the staff, to design the best strategy to help him be at the level that Chelsea, when they signed him, expected of him”, said the new Blues tactician, who seems to want to build the best possible environment to develop his young promise. While Chelsea have offered the services of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, Mykhaylo Mudryk will have to make his place on the wings against the experienced Raheem Sterling and against the very recent European u21 champion Noni Madueke.
