The Argentine spoke relentlessly honestly about the daily work with his superstars and the expectations in the French capital.

Pochettino: “Have three kings on one team”

“It’s not that easy when you have players like Messi, Mbappé and Neymar. Any of these three players can be the king for any team in the world. But I have three kings in one club: three kings with different needs on the one Place, “said Pochettino.

The Argentine continued: “Mbappé needs a lot of space for his high pace. Neymar needs the ball all the time, he has to feel it. Messi needs a different pace than Mbappé. That’s why we’re working hard to find the right way of playing so that all three can play feel good. “

For him and his coaching team it is fascinating work with so many stars, but also “very challenging”.

Messi did not pay any attention to him in the game against OSC Lille after a substitution. “If you make decisions for the team and are convinced that they are the right ones, I don’t care if the player is a big name or is at the beginning of his career,” said Pochettino.

Because: “Sometimes you have to make decisions that one or the other player doesn’t like. That’s part of our job.”

Pochettino: “Failed if …”

Being a PSG coach is generally no picnic for Pochettino.

“The pressure is different from my previous positions at Tottenham, Southampton and Espanyol. The pressure is brutal,” he said To score three, four or five goals in the first few minutes, the fans are very disappointed. “

Pochettino knows he has to deliver the big titles. “I’ve failed if I don’t win the Champions League with PSG,” he said.
