Chelsea's project will prosper in time, despite their struggles so far this season.
That is the view of manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has defended his work so far this season.
The Argentine head coach has seen the club continue to lose games, fail to score goals, and slip down the league table.
Sitting in 14th place, Pochettino outlined how the club's future will look to reporters.
It is less hard than when we were at Southampton and Tottenham, trust me," he said.
We are doing much better here but we are missing the most important thing in football: scoring."
Pressed on why it was harder at Spurs, where he routinely finished in the top four, Pochettino said: We were working to change and design the strategy. Here, the plan was already made.
I believe. I really believe. It's about having patience and trying to recover all the injured players. If you see the squad, it has very good balance.
Everyone 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."
