‘Poche’ asks for time
Pochettino, aware that he is on the wire, he asked for time to develop his project in Paris. “You have to give value to the League and the Cup. The Champions League is a competition with very few games. If the team is not ready to compete in domestic competitions, it is very difficult to perform well in the Champions League. There are things I don’t understand. The storm It started after the elimination of Madrid. We have won the League, as other coaches like Blanc or Ancelotti did. I like City because they have given Guardiola the opportunity to build. She has given him time. PSG also needs a period like this. Giving peace of mind to this project, we are going to be close to winning the Champions League”, he stressed.
The Argentine emphasized the difficulty of training PSG. “To get there (to PSG) you have to be a good coach and after a year and a half there I feel like one of the best. Wearing a wardrobe with so many stars has been a daily learning. We were one step away from eliminating Madrid, like Chelsea, City and Liverpool. We have been there. I think we were much superior, but we needed to finish the job. If the goal is to win the Champions League, it is normal for these types of storms to be generated,” he remarked.
Mbappe’s decision
Pochettino also spoke of the Kylian Mbappé’s decision to stay at PSG and the difficult year of Leo Messi in his first year in the Parisian team.
“Everyone took many things for granted, but Mbappé had not made the decision. He took her in the last week and chose to stay,” she said of the Frenchman.
The arrival of Messi
About Messi, he wanted to emphasize that the Argentine had nothing done with PSG before his departure from Barcelona. “The arrival of Messi was very fast. But believe me, that was done in three days. PSG was the only one who could sign him so quickly.”
About his performance, Pochettino said that “moving his whole family was not easy. Football in France is different and adapting to your teammates is difficult. Everyone thought that he would finish his career with Barcelona. For me it has been a dream to train him. He immediately earned the respect and affection of the people. For me Messi is a leader. Not all leaders are the same. There are players who look like leaders and just shout,” he clarified.
Dembélé and to train to the FC Barcelona
“I never got the chance to coach Barcelona. I’m rooted in Espanyol.”
“He is a great player. He is a profile that PSG may be interested in.”
