Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino named Premier League manager of the month for
He said that as long as “nothing happens” in their next training session, he knows how he wants to play and said he will use their training exercises leading into the game to teach the players his way of understanding “a little bit more”.
After a slow start to the campaign, in which Spurs failed to win any of their first four matches, the north London club took maximum points from every league game last month.
Statistics show Tottenham have out-run all of their league opponents this season, although Pochetinno conceded that distance covered was not as important as winning goals.
“It is true that our style is press and run and solidarity, being a unit”.
“We have a good balance between running and having possession”. It is a very good balance.
Three Premiership wins against Sunderland, Palace and Man City have turned our season from one of frustration to one of promise and it appears clear that as a team we are more solid, but also beginning to add that much miss cutting edge in attack.
Pochettino previously worked with the England global at Southampton, and the Argentine says that he is one of the Premier League’s finest.
“If you analyse Dortmund it is not similar to how we played at Southampton because our pressing was to the opposing keeper and Dortmund played “medium block”, he said.
Jürgen Klopp has challenged hisLiverpool side to win back the trust of the supporters and their team-mates as they search for an upturn in confidence ahead of a trip to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. “One is no better than the other but they are different”.
Klopp has inherited three former Pochettino players.
“Lovren, Lambert, Lallana and now Nathaniel Clyne, it was a very hard period for them when they arrived, with Brendan Rodgers not in a good position”. Pochettino believed he was the jewel in the crown.
“Sometimes you have to decide who is the best player to play in different games, but I’m happy with the squad”.
