Great read, much better than constantly hearing about your Bales and your Walcotts 24/7! Certainly doesn't seem like he will suffer fools gladly!

Bearsy Posted 22 November, 2013 Share Posted 22 November, 2013 It was one o'clock in the morning when they knocked on the door. It was cold outside in Murphy, Santa Fe province, and Mauricio Pochettino was fast asleep. His parents, though, ushered the two men into the house and they crept quietly up to the 14-year-old's bedroom, pulling back the covers and waking him with a start. It's a strong opening, but went a bit downhill thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 22 November, 2013 Share Posted 22 November, 2013 Really interesting article - these comments especially stood out He never, ever accepted defeat and there was a huge amount of respect for him, almost like the hierarchy when you're doing military service. In that time, under Pochettino almost 20 players came up from the youth team to play for the first team. For some that was "brave", for others it was a problem. Younger players offered him more aggression, intensity and hunger, one veteran says. But, he muses, the other good thing about young players might just have been that they're more malleable He seemed to see conspiracy where there was none and some good people had to leave out the back door, and not just players. He wanted everyone to dance to his tune, people entirely committed to him. The atmosphere ended up not being so good. In purely sporting terms, though, there was no problem: he got great results and we played well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
