# Pochettino cancels dinner plans after Brentford game to watch another team play

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino canceled a dinner date with his wife to watch another team's game with his coaching staff.

"Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that last week's draw with Brentford disappointed him so much that he canceled dinner with his wife," British media outlet Tribal Football reported on Tuesday (KST).

Chelsea played Brentford to a 2-2 draw in the 27th round of the 2023/24 English Premier League (PL) on March 3 at the G-Tech Community Stadium in Brentford, England.

It was Chelsea who took the early lead. Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a neat header from a Marlo Guisto cross.

Brentford fought back. Five minutes into the second half, Mas Lersleu equalized when he slotted home a second ball after a Sergio Reguilon shot. In the 24th minute, Yoann Wissa scored a stunning volley from inside the penalty box to give the hosts the lead.

Chelsea equalized in stoppage time. In the 38th minute of the second half, Axel Disassi headed home a cross from the left to equalize. No further goals were scored and the game ended 2-2.

Chelsea's performance this season has been disappointing. The Blues have spent a lot of money in the transfer market, but they haven't been able to produce results. They currently sit in 11th place in the league with 10 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses in 10 PL games. In the last Carabao Cup final, they [토토사이트](https://www.sportstoto.link) finished as runners-up after conceding a last-minute goal to Liverpool.

The atmosphere is not good, with fans calling for Pochettino to be sacked. There are also reports in the UK that Chelsea hierarchy are looking to replace Pochettino

Pochettino said he was very disappointed with the result. "A draw against Brentford is like a defeat," he said, "I had a dinner with my wife, which I canceled. She was disappointed. I didn't want to go to dinner. I wanted to stay at home," he said.

"I was lucky because my coaching staff was with me at the time. We ended the day watching the match between Real Madrid and Valencia. We drank wine, but there was no excitement. We just watched soccer," he explains.

"It's true that she's not happy with me, but she knows that I'm not in a good mood. It's not easy for a family when you're not in a good mood."

"In the last few days I've watched every game," Pochettino said, "not just the UEFA Champions League or the Champions League. I've also watched the Asian Football Confederation Champions League," he said.

"You have to win the game and give the fans a good feeling. I feel responsible when things are not going well," he added.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will next face Newcastle United at home in the 28th round of the PL on Tuesday.
