Defeated by Burnley yesterday (2-2), Chelsea remain in the soft underbelly of the Premier League, far from the ambitions displayed at the start of the season. Despite hundreds of millions of euros spent to rebuild the squad, Mauricio Pochettino's Blues are unable to produce their football. For Frank Leboeuf, former player of the club, the management is at the origin of the poor performances with a poorly constructed squad.
“Sorry, but the board members destroyed this club. How to rebuild this? I don't know, it's going to take a long time. (…) The players don’t know what to do. Until you have people to rely on, i.e. experienced players, you can't build anything. This is what you face when you try to build an academy team. It’s a lack of professionalism and it’s unfair to the people who love this club.” criticized the world champion on ESPN.
