"For me, being at Chelsea is a big challenge that I wanted to feel," Pochettino said at his first press conference as Blues head coach. "To have that adrenaline and to be fighting for big things in every game.
"This football club, because of the history, the ambition is to always win trophies. I want to prove that I can deal with that.
"Right now, we need to be competitive at the training ground. That is where things start. If we are not competitive there, we are not going to arrive where we need to be. I don’t want to give excuses for the players by saying we need time to rebuild and time to work.
"There are no excuses. We have to work hard to manage and drive [the players] forward in the way that we want. The competition doesn’t wait for anyone and we have to be ready, that much is clear."
