Enzo Fernández and Valu’s Blissful Getaway: Unwinding in St Moritz, Switzerland, After a Triumph Over FulhamEnzo Fernández and St. Moritz , SwitzerlandI held it down because I thought it was slipping away from meModel Cut

Chelsea’s players and staff were given three days off after edging out neighbours Fulham, with Mauricio Pochettino feeling they needed a chance to catch their breath before attacking in the second half of the season.

He needs it, too. Pochettino was a frantic, arm-flapping presence on the touchline as Chelsea clung on to their slender lead after Cole Palmer’s penalty in first-half stoppage time.

The Blues manager spent the last few minutes kicking every ball when his players poured forward to seek a second goal, then desperately beckoning them back to defend as Fulham broke.He was then imploring them in pained hope to concentrate amid a late flurry of Fulham set-pieces, but the final whistle brought relief, and so Pochettino could breathe again.

For the next couple of days, he is seeing family in Spain during Chelsea’s 10-day gap between matches, though he said he will not be able to turn his phone off with the transfer window open.
