And reflects on an afternoon he`d perhaps like to forget.
Following his sides defeat to Chelsea yesterday, a defeat the Spurs support might feel wasn`t deserved, the Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino had a few words to say about the game and also Chelsea.
Talking to the media, Pochettino remarked,
‘Congratulations to Chelsea. We dominated the game but they were more clinical than us. I feel proud, we were fantastic in the way we played and in our philosophy. They had five shots and scored four goals and we score only two.
‘It is important to speak about the moments of the game. We fought a lot. We tried and scored. The penalty for me was a soft penalty or was not a penalty. To go into the changing room 2-1 down was difficult and again we played well in the second half and scored but then they came back.
‘Only now we can look forward. We are four points behind them and we will try to win our next game. I am not worried. The team is strong, we are focused. We were competing today with one of the best teams in Europe. Did we deserve more? Sure, but that is football.
‘Now we will try to be calm, watch the game again and try to improve. We are in a process of trying to improve, if we cannot win the FA Cup this season we will try again next season.
‘We have another difficult game coming up against Crystal Palace. It is a tough league to play but we are OK. For sure now we are disappointed but that is football.’
Nice of the man to congratulate our boys though, don`t you think!
