Pochettino: We need people’s support to win

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has urged his side to go on and win the Carabao Cup after they thrashed Middlesbrough to reach the final.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Pochettino said reaching the final is “really important” for his players, adding: “Sometimes we can think about the history of Chelsea and the missing players.

“We are young and we need to grow. These types of games are a good experience for young players and it is about now growing and it will help us to compete.

“We are building a very good team. The mentality is good. We have plenty but we need time.

“It is a new project. We are building a team and sometimes it is normal to play worse. We played well and we didn’t win but now it will be a big boost for us.

“People need to believe and trust in us and we go to the final with the chance of winning the first trophy of the season.”
