Mauricio Pochettino

“We can't see every small detail in football.”

“For me, family and football are the most important things. They are in the same level.”

“The most important thing is how you are made to feel in your home.”

“I am not a person who is going to convince players to stay or not stay.”

“To win games, we need to be focused for 95 minutes. If not, you always pay in football.”

“I always remember being competitive. From the beginning, with my brothers, with my friends, playing at school, everything - in everything I was involved in.”

“To show respect for the opponent is to go and kill with every single action. That is the way you show it. You need to be aggressive. That is how I understand football.”

“Rather than complain about a thing you cannot change, I try to find a solution to help the performance in the best way.”

“I am a person that likes to move on. I am the first to make mistakes in my life.”

“If your own fans didn't want you, there is no point to carry on working because you are going to damage first of all your company, your club.”

“The most important club in the world is Tottenham. And it is the best club in the world. I need to feel like this, and that emotion is real because I cannot be fake. It's too difficult to create the trust if you don't really believe, and it's not real, that emotion.”

“Belief is the most important thing in football. Not quality, running, or being strong but belief, faith, and fight.”

“If you win, of course celebrate and show the fans you're happy - it's fantastic - but when you win a trophy, when you win something special.”

“I feel happy here in Tottenham because I feel the recognition for our job.”

“My ambition is to win the Champions League one day with Tottenham, or the Premier League.”

“We need to be regular and have consistency during the whole season.”

“You cannot guess what happens in the future.”

“When you are next to Harry Kane, achieving all he is and scoring so many goals, it's normal that the focus is on Harry Kane.”

“When you play for Barcelona, there is always pressure to win - you play for something special. It's the same when you player for Tottenham; the names are not important.”

“When the club offers you the job, they say what the club expects from you. If the club says to you, 'I want you to win the Champions League, the Premier League, the Carabao Cup,' you say, 'OK, you want to win this and this and this? Can you give me this and this and this?'”
