Maurcio Pochettino: Chelsea coach doesn't mind owners in dressing room

Right, let's get to Chelsea then. They're getting ready to face Brighton in the EFL Cup tomorrow night. Ahead of that game, Maurizio Pochettino has given his verdict on the club's owners coming into the dressing room after matches. For more on this, we can cross live to our reporter Gary Cottrell, who's been speaking with Maurizio Pochettino today. The Chelsea owners made the headlines in the past, didn't they, for going into the changing room. It's happened again. How did it go down this time around? Yeah, Bedard Egbali, the co-owner who was in the dressing room this time around, he was in there after that defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday. Maurizio Pochettino says actually since he's joined Chelsea, one or other of the owners has been in the dressing room after every home game. The draw with Liverpool, the victory over Luton, the defeat to Forest and now the defeat to Aston Villa. So it's becoming a bit of a habit, as it has been under previous managers and head coaches at Chelsea. Pochettino says, look, he doesn't have a problem with it. He says it's their club. Frankly, they can do what they want. It's good in a way that they come into the dressing room after a game, win, lose or draw, say hello to the players. But he draws the line at the making speeches. He says speeches from the owners are not on. It doesn't suggest that there has been one. Speeches are only to be given by him or the captain. I like when the owners come. In all my career, like a coach, Espanyol and then Southampton or Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain also, you know, before and after. I think it's good that the owner came to the dressing room. It's in the way that they approach the player is the most important. If they are in a good way and in a correct way, I think they are very welcome. Yes, after my press conference, after all the media, in the game again Sunday, Aston Villa, they came and shared with us. Like normally, they also did Liverpool's first game. Now I try to remember many things in my head. Liverpool and then Luton and Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. They came with Paul and Lorenz and Bedard and sometimes with Todd also. But they shared some comments and we talked about the game after my duty. Yes, I don't see it in a bad way. For me it's good. Always if they share with us and then they can say hello to the players.
