Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he places faith in lemons to absorb negative energy, saying it worked at Tottenham and will do so again at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
It has been a difficult start to life with the Blues for Pochettino as he tries to stitch together a team from the huge amount of signings the club has made over the last two transfer windows.<\/p>\n
There has been just one win from their opening five Premier League games and the Blues have failed to score in their last two outings against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
There is a lot of work to do, starting at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, and Pochettino reckons lemons will help turn things around.<\/p>\n
The Argentina revealed this week that he feels lemons absorb negative energy and that is why he keeps a bowl of them in his office, although he may have to wait a while to see their impact.<\/p>\n
\u2018They started to work after two years at Tottenham,\u2019 said Pochettino. \u2018Give time to the lemons. It is a thing that we all believe. If you want to have good energy you need to implement all the things that you believe.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe in the lemons but at Tottenham they started to work after one and a half, two years. They need a long time, they are not magic, but more than ever I still believe in them.<\/p>\n
\u2018Today in my office I have yellow ones, green ones, different types. From Spain, from Italy. I don\u2019t want to lie, there is a big box of lemons. I always thought the yellow lemons worked much better than the green but now I believe in any colour \u2013 any colour can help. If I could get a blue lemon it would be even better.\u2019<\/p>\n
On whether the green lemons in his box are in fact limes, he said: \u2018A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.\u2019<\/p>\n
With five points from five games so far, Pochettino needs the lemons to do their job ASAP.<\/p>\n
