Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino spoke about the team's success in the League Cup last 16 against Blackburn (2-0).
Mauricio Pochettino, Getty Images"After Saturday's defeat, it was important for us to win the game and progress to the next round of the competition. There were too many chances and we need to be more accurate in our finishing, but that can't be changed so quickly. It's about time, which brings confidence.
There were also many positive things. It was important to stay and go through in this important competition for us, which builds confidence. Now we are looking forward to the next round, but first we have to prepare for the next two games, which are very important before the international break.
We have serious plans for this tournament because we don't play in European competitions. We will have the opportunity to compete for a trophy, as well as in the Ukrainian Premier League and, starting in January, in the FA Cup. Of course, we must think we can win this tournament," the Chelsea press service quoted the Argentine coach as saying.
In the next round of the League Cup, Pochettino's men will meet Newcastle, who left Manchester United no chance in the last 16 (3-0).
