Levi Colwill has hinted that the Chelsea players received a ‘hairdryer treatment’ from Mauricio Pochettino at the half-time break against Preston North End.
He said: “Something like that! I think we needed it though, we weren't good enough, as everyone saw. The second half was much better.
“Raheem [Sterling] normally practices free-kicks the day before a game and he always scores. I think he's scored two now — Newcastle and then today — so from that position, he's a specialist at free-kicks.
“I love playing with Armando [Broja], he's a great striker and a good mate of mine. I always encourage him because I know how good he can be. Today he showed it with his goal.”
Chelsea were relatively poor in the first half against Preston, which is probably why Poch had to give them a good thrashing at the break to inspire the dominant second-half display. It worked, as the Blues scored four goals and sailed to the FA Cup fourth round.
