 We provided more time to recover after the international break to be sure he could play in a very good way against Liverpool, Pochettino said. 
|
I was talking with Mikel Arteta and their players agreed to have only 15 days' holidays, Pochettino said. Maybe I am talking too much – okay, they arrive one week before our players. We wanted to be fair with everyone.

It's an insult if someone beats you, said Pochettino. If I am supposed to mark someone and he touches the ball then it's like a dishonour for me. It's not a thing you can work on too much. You can work on your organisation. You can work on the line, if it's a wide free kick, higher...

We are good when we run more than the opponents, said Pochettino. When we won against teams with similar or better quality than us, we run between six and 10 kilometres more than the opponent.
|
With different types of player, different names, we have suffered the same situation, Pochettino said. If I am supposed to mark someone and he touches the ball, then it's a dishonour for me, an insult – that's how you need to feel.
|
I think maybe having in front of us players like [Mohamed] Salah and [Roberto] Firmino, we respected them too much, Pochettino said (via ESPN ).
|
If we put the ball in the air and we have to fight for it, we are going to lose, Pochettino said. The examples are clear.
|
I think he was under stress during the game against Manchester United, said Pochettino. I think… the added stress maybe created that injury.
