Chelsea is starting the 2023/24 season quite slowly with only 5 points after 6 Premier League matches, ranking 14th in the rankings. This club has just broken a 3-match winless streak when defeating Brighton 1-0 to enter the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
However, soon they will have to face a schedule that can be said to be a nightmare when they continuously have to meet strong teams. Specifically, after being guests of Fulham (October 3) and Burnley (October 7), the Blues will meet Arsenal (October 21), Brentford (October 28), Tottenham (November 7), and Man City respectively. (November 12), Newcastle (November 25), Brighton (December 2) and Man Utd (December 7) in the Premier League.
Besides Brentford, all the remaining teams are big players and are ranked in the top half of the rankings. Not to mention, Chelsea also has to spend their energy against Blackburn in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup (October 31) – an arena where the Blues are focusing to raise their hopes of winning the title.
Obviously coach Pochettino will have a lot of work to do to help Chelsea overcome the upcoming difficult match schedule. But recently, before entering the gate, he and his students received good news from the club.
Specifically, according to Bloomberg, the Blues board is considering borrowing an additional 250 million pounds to continue investing in the club. This move is aimed at providing the team with the necessary financial resources for the transfer and redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.That means Coach Pochettino will have more money to buy in the January 2024 transfer window, also after they end their nightmare series in the Premier League. This will be a big morale boost for Chelsea, motivating them to be determined to overcome difficult times.
Previously, president Todd Boehly and his colleagues poured more than 1 billion pounds into Chelsea for the club to buy people to rebuild the squad. Although the results may not soon reach expectations, the Blues’ board of directors is still steadfast and has faith in coach Pochettino and his students.
