For this fight mentor Tottenham did not take with them the defenders of Kieran Trippieu and Toby Alderwayreld "for technical reasons". However, when journalists asked about them, Pochettino could not restrain himself and answered.

"Against Watford and Liverpool they were at the heart of the. Now there are none, and this is an easy question to get to know me, is not it? It's easy to talk about players who did not go to the ".

"I think we should talk about football. I think you want to force me to say something bad. You do not respect those players who played better today than their rivals ".

"Why are you disrespectful of those who came on the field? You can blame me, saying that I acted like complete garbage, choosing such a composition for the game. But please do not treat my players this way, it's my decision. Kieran Trippie, Toby Alderwayreld ... We have 25 players in the team! ".

"Sometimes your questions sound as if only 11 players can play football, and the rest 13-14 is nothing, shit. Sorry, but I'm upset about this, because I respect you, and I respect my players ".

"You have to respect my decisions, because I'm a manager. At the same time, when you give me the names of absent players, you show disregard for those who played their positions ".

"I do not understand this. Sorry. You are such nice people, but why? Being a player is very difficult.

For me, everything is much easier, because I'm on the edge, and not running around the field. It is very painful to hear when you are arguing in a similar way about those who were not on the field today, "killing" those who gave all their strength in the match, "concluded Pochettino.

In the next round, Tottenham will play with Barcelona.
