He told the London Evening Standard: "He is not necessarily a coach trying to be best friends with everyone, but he is a coach who is straightforward with everyone. That's what you need at a top club like Chelsea."
Madueke added, “I think Mauricio Pochettino made a mistake.
"He tried to be everyone's best friend within the club, while some of them need that strict approach and need to be addressed in public. ”
