Todd Boehly gives pre-match pep talk to Chelsea squad ahead of Real Madrid clash




According to the Telegraph, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly gave the team a pre-game pep talk in which he discussed their "embarrassing" situation.

Since choosing Frank Lampard as their interim manager, Chelsea has dropped all three of their games. It appears as though Graham Potter's dismissal had no effect on how the squad performed.

Alarmingly, Brighton and Hove Albion outplayed them at Stamford Bridge and defeated them in the league on Saturday.

Todd Boehly gave a pre-match team talk to the Chelsea squad ahead of the Real Madrid clash.

Amidst the addressing of the embarrassing situation, Boehly tried to give his talk a positive tone by saying that they must overturn the two-goal deficit against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final to keep the season alive and give the fans something to be happy about.

The American did not hide himself in any glory when he predicted that Chelsea would beat Madrid 3-0 in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Instead, the European champions schooled the Blues and easily won by 2-0.

Hence, Lampard cannot set the team to go full throttle from the first minute. They need to stay in the tie for as long as possible before going for it with the help of the crowd.

While Boehly and his team have made some bizarre decisions during their first year in charge of the club, the players must take more responsibility for what has happened on the pitch. They cannot just hide away from some of the lacklustre displays we have seen throughout this season.

Christian Pulisic Drawing Interest of AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus

WIN OUR $5 BTC TOKENS It is not up for debate anymore whether or not Christian Pulisic should leave Chelsea FC. The debate to be had now is where he should go. Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before.   As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A.  As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Pochettino identifies midfielder that will play key role in his squad

Mason Mount has been named a crucial member of his squad by Argentine international and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is widely expected to be Chelsea's next manager. This occurs as questions remain about Mount's future with the club. The English midfielder is thought to be a target for Pochettino because he sees him as a potential crucial member of his team. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Mount's work ethic and technical proficiency are greatly admired by the former Tottenham boss. Mount will be out of contract at Chelsea in June 2024 and there has been little progress in regards to the negotiations on a contract extension. Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge, Mount has been linked with a summer exit, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal all showing interest and willingness to sign him. Like Chelsea, Mount has struggled to impress this season, scoring only three goals and creating six assists in all competitio...

Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona can help Chelsea's transfer efforts this summer, especially when it comes to landing a striker

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
