Mauricio Pochettino speaks to ITV. “It was one of the best, or maybe the best, performance of the season … it arrived at a very good moment for us … so happy … the way they played, I enjoy … we are a young team … to be solid and consistent is the most difficult thing as a young team … it’s always about finding the balance … it’s difficult to unite the characteristics of all the players … the idea of being a team … but today the team was in the middle, always ready to fight and compete … we need to show we are a team … I am so optimistic … it is a new project … people need to believe … today I was more relaxed than ever because I knew the team was going to perform … you know when the players are with you … the belief is there 200 percent … there are some noises but that is football!”
