Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino analyzed the speeches of the "spurs" under his leadership.

In the last campaign, Tottenham for the first time in 22 years, finished above Arsenal in the Premier League. "Spurs" still did not win anything under Mauricio Pochettino, although they turned into one of the contenders for the title. "Gunners" for the same time won twice in the FA Cup.

"I would not exchange the progress of Tottenham for Arsenal Cups. Our clubs are at different stages of project development. I do not care where the Arsenal. I think that for three and a half years we have achieved a lot with Tottenham, "- said Pochettino.

"I would like to achieve more - finish first and not second, win cups, and not be a finalist - but we have different processes, different projects, different clubs and different philosophies".

Previously, Pochettino already said that the priority for him is the Premier League and the Champions League.

"If we concentrate on the cup victories - I think this is a useless project for the club. Will be able to win the FA Cup or the League Cup - fine, but our main goals - to win the Premier League and make Tottenham challenger for the victory in the Champions League. You know, these are the most difficult challenges for large clubs and such trophies are real ".

Today, Tottenham away will play against Arsenal in the 12th round of the Premier League. The last time Tottenham won in this tournament on Emirates in November 2010. In addition, the "spurs" at Pochettino won only one away match of the Premier League out of 16 against the teams of the "big six" - Man City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
