Conversation Corner: Tottenham against Monaco
Mauricio Pochettino:
“Mauricio’s here at Monaco. You’ve got a disappointed look on your face Mauricio. There’s a feeling we should have won this game isn’t there?”
“Yes the feeling is that we lost two points. Because in the second — they through in the first half that we concede a lot of cross and some chance with Monaco were 50-50 but the second half we dominate — complete. And easy for that, we need to be clean, very more clean in our counters in front and maybe we have the chance to create some chance but we need to create more because I think the game was very clean for us. For that, I’m very disappointed but in the same way, anyway … anyway [chuckles] in the same way, I’m very happy with the performance and the effort because it was pretty good and you know we play a lot of games, very tough games in the last few weeks and you need to concede the — to praise our players because the effort from the squad was fantastic.”
“I mean Monaco came forward looking for a goal, but it didn’t look like we were going to concede a goal. We defended very well didn’t we?”
“Yeah we defend very well but you know, in the second half when I think it was under our control and we dominate the game and we concede the goal. But you know in football, something happen, you need to be able to score and to kill the game and after don’t concede these chances to the opponents. But disappointed but happy, the effort was brilliant and we need to be ready now and to look after the players to be ready for the next game against Swansea, that is another important game.”
