He is motivated to perform here and help Chelsea. [But] like all top players, after that, he also wants to play for the national team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We were talking and we said to him, \u201cWe are going to help you to earn your way back into the national team.

The objective for us is always to get the players to feel good. He is a player with experience that can help the young guys to evolve. I am so happy about his performances and about the way he behaved the last two weeks. He worked really, really hard and I hope it can translate into the competition.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Pochettino has cited Zinedine Zidane as a reference point for patience from Chelsea fans, not just for Sterling but also the raft of young players signed in the Todd Boehly-Behdad Eghbali \u00a31billion spree but yet to deliver, such as Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandes and Marc Cucurella.<\/p>\n<p>Pressure is now on this summer\u2019s top arrivals such as Moises Caicedo, Nicolas Jackson, Axel Disai and Cole Palmer, to make their mark quickly, especially with Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana now injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Chelsea always have massive expectations,\u2019 said Pochettino. \u2018But it\u2019s not fair to (say), \u201cThey\u2019re not performing and we paid money and they need to perform at this [level]\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Always, I use the same example: Real Madrid paid 70, 80 million for a player, his name was Zinedine Zidane. After six months you could have asked the fans in the Bernabeu, \u201cWhat have we bought?!\u201d He [only] started to perform after seven, eight months and Zidane was 26! When you bring a player who is 18, 19 or 20, be careful: they are not machines.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/01\/75516219-12527131-A_rigorous_pre_season_saw_the_forward_regain_something_like_his_-a-19_1694908884941.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A rigorous pre-season saw the forward regain something like his old Manchester City form<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12527131\/Mauricio-Pochettino-makes-pact-Chelsea-forward-Raheem-Sterling-England-team-Euro-2024.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mauricio Pochettino makes pact with Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling to get him back into the England team before Euro 2024 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291441,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
