Hoping that Mauricio Pochettino can lead Chelsea to finish in the Champions League zone next season, that will look better than seeing him finish in 12th position. But if they succeed in their strategy of loaning Mbappe from PSG there is a possibility that they will finish even better, raner up will be their place. Chelsea's pre-season trip this time has been very good, they are unbeaten and last drew against Dortmund.
However, this match had to be paid dearly because after a draw, their new player, Christopher Nkunku, was injured. This will be their closing match in pre-season, hopefully Nkunku won't be seriously injured.
There is no choice, ideally Pochettino is targeting his team's squad to finish in the top four until the end of this competition. however, it is not an easy job for him with many competitors who are more prepared and stronger than them. but if it doesn't meet the target, it means Pochettino will be removed from the Blues coaching chair. if we refer to the results of their pre-season matches, the results are quite good even though Pochettino, like other coaches, is experimenting with rotating his players. So, this fight really doesn't decide anything. but at least, providing positive space for the Chelsea squad itself and giving a little confidence to the Blues supporters. although actually, they are still trying to strengthen their depth by bringing in several players. at least, Pochettino must bring his squad much better than before. because, they do not have a match schedule that is too tight. their focus, only on the Premier League competition.
As for Mbappe, I'm not sure Todd will bring him to Stamford Bridge. because as rumored, the only club the PSG star wants is Real Madrid. As for Nkuku, it seems that this player is quite prone to injury. but as a neutral fan, I still wish him the best. so, let's see how Pochettino's squad goes game by game after the league is rolled out again.
