Struggles of Tottenham Hotspur – Mauricio
It has been seen that Mauricio says that there is nothing to be wrong with the efforts and struggles of Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has acknowledged the late criticism of his Tottenham Hotspur side after their initial exit from the Champions League however said he doesn’t sa anything “incorrectly” in his group struggling to adapt to their requesting schedule.
“If you want to criticise that (we were knocked out of the Champions League) then okay, I accept that. It is a little bit tough, and after Monaco I said maybe we cannot cope in both competitions,” Pochettino told British media.
“But I think there is nothing wrong. We are in a good position in the Premier League.
“You saw a very different performance between Monaco and Chelsea — that happens because to be fresh to play in both competitions is difficult. We need to learn about that and start to win games.”
Tottenham were dumped out of Europe’s tip top club rivalry after Wednesday’s gathering stage loss to French side Monaco and their woes were exacerbated on Saturday as their 12-game Premier League unbeaten run reached an end with a 2-1 vanquish at Chelsea.
“If you sign a player and you expect something, and you do not find what you expect… Football is not about money,” Pochettino said.
“Of course he (Sissoko) needs to work hard and show in the future that he deserves to be involved in the team.”
Spurs are seen being positioned at fifth in table. They have won only one of out previous 10 games throughout the competition. Also, they been placed 19th for Swansea City this Saturday.
