Chelsea are currently seventh in the Premier League title. The Blues have staged a late charge for European qualification, having spent a large part of the season languishing in the mid-table.
The Blues have also reached the final of the Carabao Cup and the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Mauricio Pochettino was asked if he considers the season a success. He replied, as quoted by the Evening Standard: “We are punished because of the first 10 games of the season.
“Look, I want to be positive and from the start of next season I don’t want to say that we are young and can talk not about injuries but the evolution of the different aspects of our tactical game.
“It’s now like we are stuck in reverse like the song of Coldplay. We always stop and go back [to negative times]. It’s like we are stuck in reverse. I like Coldplay, the song is ‘Fix You’.
“That's the problem with the press conference because I go to this or that and then the people are not happy with me.
“You make me talk about this but I am going to stop talking about a young squad, an injured squad. We hope to have all the players fit next season and fighting for the starting XI. I wish and am dreaming of that."
"When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep. Stuck in reverse" — you can listen to the song Poch references below.
