Mauricio Pochettino has promised that Chelsea\u2019s project will prosper in time as they host Brighton \u2014 the club whose top talents they stripped in a bid to buy success \u2014 in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n
There are similarities between Brighton and Chelsea\u2019s models, with one major exception. Brighton target young players with potential, such as \u00a34.5million Moises Caicedo in 2021, but Chelsea pick up young players with hefty price tags, signing Caicedo for \u00a3115m last month.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are a lowly 14th in the Premier League with just one win from their first six games.<\/p>\n
Some top-flight bosses send out their assistants to conduct press conferences in the Carabao Cup but Pochettino fronted up as he insisted \u2018the plan\u2019 will succeed.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is less hard than when we were at Southampton and Tottenham, trust me,\u2019 he said. \u2018We are doing much better here but we are missing the most important thing in football: scoring.\u2019<\/p>\n

On why it was harder at Spurs, Pochettino said: \u2018We were working to change and design the strategy. Here, the plan was already made.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe. I really believe. It\u2019s about having patience and trying to recover all the injured players. If you see the squad, it has very good balance.<\/p>\n
\u2018Everyone can say that the plan is not right, but I really believe in the project. We only need time to change that perception because we are going to change that perception.\u2019<\/p>\n
Pochettino is trying to build his players\u2019 confidence, citing one example. He said: \u2018With Mykhailo Mudryk, I like to play hitting the crossbar from outside the box. He said to me today, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not going to play any more because always you win\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2018I said, \u201cYes, because I have the belief. The balance between belief and quality I know very well because I am 50 years old and you are still young. You need to still know yourself.\u201d Today was the first time that we drew.\u2019<\/p>\n
Pochettino was asked if \u00a332m forward Nicolas Jackson, who will miss Monday\u2019s Premier League game at Fulham after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season, had been fined for his lack of discipline.<\/p>\n
He said: \u2018Not really. Not in the way you maybe think. It\u2019s not money. It\u2019s private. I don\u2019t like to talk about money with players. But in a different way, of course.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pochettino has seen his side win just one of their first six games in the Premier League<\/p>\n
