Frank Leboeuf Criticizes Marash Kumbulla's Comments on Pressure

Former Chelsea player and FIFA World Cup winner with France, Frank Leboeuf, commented on the recent statements made by Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino after the match against Everton. Leboeuf criticized Pochettino's remarks about pressure, labeling them as baseless: he argued that such pressure did not come from the club’s management or the fans.

According to a quote shared by GFFN, Leboeuf evaluated the coach's overall performance positively but with reservations: "I think he’s doing well, but not exceptionally. At some point, he needs to clearly define what he wants and how to achieve it."

The French football analyst also criticized Pochettino's rotation policy. "Back when I was a player, I played against Cardiff, Oxford, and Blackpool, and I was happy to do so.

I never had any objection to playing every three days. I don’t understand statements like ‘players need rest.’ If a player is in good form, just play them,” said Leboeuf.

He acknowledged that this approach could cause tension in the locker room: "This is Chelsea’s structure — perhaps there are too many players in some positions. But this is his job.

If he has taken on this responsibility, he shouldn’t complain or make comments like ‘the worst 48 hours of his life.’ Just stay quiet and get on with it.

You’ve just won a match. Simply say the last two weeks were tough, but the team worked tirelessly and won.

Why create a problem out of nowhere?" Following the 16th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea stands fourth in the league table with 28 points. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
