‘First of all I had a good relationship with Mauricio’! Cesc Fabregas responds to Mauricio Pochettino’s departure and discusses Chelsea’s visit

Just 11 months after joining the west London club, the Argentine manager departed on Tuesday night by “mutual consent.” The Blues are already searching for a new manager.

Chelsea had a challenging season and finished with five straight wins to guarantee a spot in Europe. They also advanced to the FA Cup semifinals and the Carabao Cup final.

Como manager Fabregas said there was no hint during his Friday visit to Cobham that Pochettino’s time was almost up, and his remarks destroyed rumors spread by fans that he may be a candidate to succeed him.”There are moments when it’s hard to recognize or express a viewpoint when you weren’t present to witness the events,” Fabregas remarked on Wednesday’s Planet Premier League podcast with BBC Sounds. “Look, I really was there.” Ironically, I spent the weekend in London.

To begin with, I got along well with Mauricio. I always thought that he was a really nice guy, a gentleman, when we played against them.

Two days before the season ends, on Friday [that he visited], I thought that they had won four straight games, so everything seemed to be going well and amusingly around the training ground ahead of the final game of the season.He gave me such a warm welcome when I just dropped by. I talked football with him for an hour and a half in his office.

Naturally, in addition to seeing some former teammates, I spoke with some of the people I know who work at the club.

Thus, I thoroughly enjoyed it and, to be honest, I didn’t have the impression that this would occur. I was taken aback by the choice because, just by glancing around and observing the atmosphere, I thought it was pleasant and simple.”I think the behavior in press conferences sometimes depends on the mood and how you feel things, things that we don’t know are happening inside the clubs so it’s difficult to judge those situations sometimes,” Pochettino said when asked if he appeared frustrated.

However, looking back at the way the squad was doing, I sensed that there was a genuine connection amongst players, that the patterns were more obvious, and that the tactics were not shifting as much as they had at the start of the season.

In terms оf style, gаmeplаn, etc., I wоuld sаy there wаs а fаir аmоunt оf steаdiness. sоlid dynаmics, sоlid results, аnd it аppeаred like Mаuriciо аnd the plаyers were well-liked by the suppоrters. Thus, it аppeаrs thаt we will nоw need tо wаit аnd see whаt оccurs.
