Mauricio Pochettino Articles

[Saint Charlie]

For those who are interested in what he is about here are a few articles, a good mix I think:

Interesting that in the sky sports video he says something like, 'players should aim high, that way you reach the moon, or maybe the nearest star'. Adkins had a line that he used on several occasions that is very similar.

At least Cortese's last two appointments have, at the very least, been positive people it would appear.

 

Glad we didn't get a miserable, blame-everyone-else g1t like Redknapp in, thankfully.

Clearly seen Guly's shooting. Arf.

....according to one article ...he was the longest-serving manager in La Liga ..(almost 3 years) at the time he left Espanyol.....(Spanish chairmen must be more impatient than English ones )

Bearsy, did I say that you could use the little sign-off I've popularised on here?

 

I mean, I approve and all that. Just nice to be asked is all.

 

I bet NC asked you to supplant my position as SaintsWebs arf-factory. I bet the pair of you have been planning it for months.

Interesting chat about Pochettino after about 9mins here.

 

Also a bit re Coutinho just before.

Don't like the sound of these fall outs with players.

At what point in the last month did he stop becoming the new Alex Ferguson and the greatest manager we've ever had?

And a manager we should stick with even if we go down.

We all have opinions, but this is one area where I have some expertise - namely language /communication, as I have worked with around 50+ different nationalities in the last 25+ years.

 

My assessment of MP's language skill is based as much on his body language as listening to him ..(which you can briefly hear in the first item on OP).. with Guillem Balague.

 

Many " students " quickly become used to the sound of their teacher's voice and sometimes even adopt their dialect / accent, but actually understanding someone else - even if they are

speaking YOUR language can be far more of a problem for some. Many Britons have trouble understanding people from other parts of the UK. (esp. Geordie, Glaswegian, Irish, and people from other parts of the world who speak - prime examples; Pakistani, some African and Caribbean dialects etc), so we can assume than although MP does understand English to some degree - when spoken by those with whom he is familiar, but it depends a great deal on the accent / vocabulary used by the journo / interviewer.

As he is obviously a perfectionist-type of personality, he's not going to allow himself to be embarrassed in a situation where he has to reply to " loaded questions " from a fast-talking hack ...and have to continually repeat. " I'm sorry, I don't understand you, can you repeat that .. ".

 

He does understand a lot, of course, as was witnessed in the after-match interview following the Man. Citeh game. Even at the start of a positive comment from the interviewer, he smiled broadly - even before the statement was completed - and then began to listen to his interpreter before replying. He understood the compliment quite well, but formulating a suitable reply... is probably a bit beyond him - at present. It has been stated (on here) and by players, that he communicates reasonably well in training, and he was seen to give some fairly clear instructions to Rickie Lambert (a real Scouser) ...during the MC game, which is not surprising as a large part of the " football vocabulary" used is probably fairly basic in any language.

 

I think we may well see him conducting an interview on his own by the end of the season, but don't be surprised if he sounds like " Manuel ".. QUE ?
