“These guys wants me out” “After damaging my team” – Pochettino cries out after Aston Villa 2-2 draw
Chelsea’s Saturday was somewhat frustrating as they were unable to defeat Aston Villa.
Chelsea overcame a late deficit to tie the match 2-2, but if not for a contentious VAR ruling, the Blues would have had a 3-2 victory.
Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, was furious following the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa and was left dissatisfied.
Mauricio Pochettino said the Aston Villa game: “Me and you and everyone in the stadium watching the game. They didn’t see a foul on the pitch and then VAR changed the decision of the referee. For me that was a normal challenge. The decision was there and that’s it.
“For me it damaged a little bit the Premier League and English [football]. If we want to be the best league in the world it should be protecting the spectacle and the decision.
“At Wembley for handball was a penalty against Manchester City and the referee didn’t check and the VAR didn’t advise the referee to see the incident.
“Damaged myself, damaged my team, my players, my fans.
“We are a young team. The performance was good. I’m so happy with the reaction.”
