# Ben Chilwell: Mauricio Pochettino’s Intense Coaching Methods at Chelsea
Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell has revealed that the Blues squad have all bought into the intense coaching methods of new boss Mauricio Pochettino. Speaking to Football Focus, Chilwell said that the Argentine’s approach is “intense, but in the best way”.
The London club have made a number of high-profile signings this summer, including Chilwell, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, as they look to challenge for the Premier League title. With the new arrivals, Pochettino has been tasked with bringing a new level of intensity to the team.
## Pochettino’s Intense Coaching Style
Pochettino is known for his intense coaching style, which he has employed at both Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine is renowned for his demanding training sessions and his focus on tactical detail.
At Chelsea, Pochettino has been working hard to instil his methods into the squad. Chilwell revealed that the players have been responding well to the new manager’s approach. He said: “It’s intense, but in the best way. Everyone is buying into it and it’s been great so far.”
## Building a Winning Team
Pochettino’s focus on tactical detail has been evident in Chelsea’s pre-season matches. The Blues have looked organised and disciplined in their performances, with the team looking to build on their fourth-placed finish last season.
The London club have also been active in the transfer market this summer, signing a number of high-profile players. Chilwell believes that the new arrivals will help the team to challenge for the Premier League title. He said: “We’ve got some great players here and I think we can be a real force this season.”
## Staying Within Financial Rules
Chelsea have spent big this summer, but they have also been mindful of staying within financial rules. The Blues have been working hard to ensure that their spending does not breach Financial Fair Play regulations.
The club have been using a number of strategies to stay within the rules, such as offloading players and selling naming rights to their stadium. It remains to be seen if these measures will be enough for Chelsea to stay within the regulations.
