 I am so happy, because from the day he signed two and a half years ago he struggled to adapt at the club in the way that we wanted him to play, said Pochettino to Football London . 
|
We need to be clever now about how we manage that energy from tonight, Pochettino said. The connection is massive.
|
I am so happy we suffered a little bit but the draw in inter was good, said Pochettino. Jesus Perez, my assistant coach, was next to me at the final whistle and he said, 'No it's not finished', but I was very happy and was so important for the club to go through.
|
I had something like that in Argentina when I was a player, said Pochettino. We finished our game and we were waiting for River Plate and Velez Sarsfield, and if River had scored they would have taken the title off our hands.
|
It was difficult to manage the last 10 minutes, Pochettino said. The players who came on as substitutes knew the result in Inter but you must win the game and try to score the second goal.
|
The players were fantastic. A massive effort, Pochettino said.
|
Obviously it's an important miss for Barcelona, Pochettino said. He's one of the best strikers in the world, together with Harry Kane. Suarez has proven in different countries, especially with Liverpool in England and at Barcelona, that he's one of the best strikers nowadays.
|
We have seen that many teams, both in LaLiga and the Premier League, have the economic capacity to steal a star from an important team, Pochettino told a news conference.
|
He won? Congratulations to Harry, said Pochettino.
|
We will know what's going on there, said Pochettino. I'm not going to say only my focus is on this game and then find out their result at the end.
|
Of course, I'm not going to lie, we'll know what's going on there, Pochettino told reporters.
|
It's a big loss [for Barca] because he's one of the best strikers in the world, along with [Harry] Kane, Pochettino said. It's a shame he cannot be here. He showed his quality in different countries and now at Barca, so it's an important loss for them.
|
I want to remind you that Walker-Peters won the Under-20 World Cup in Korea last year and his quality is unbelievable, Pochettino said.
|
I am an optimist and if we want to achieve something important at the Camp Nou then we will have to be excellent both physically and tactically, said Pochettino.
|
It will be a massive game. The mentality is going to be 200% to try to win, Pochettino said.
