Poch drops F-Bomb at pre-Liverpool press conference

Mauricio Pochettino dropped the F-bomb during his pre-Liverpool press conference this week to the amusement of the attending press pack.

The Tottenham boss was asked about his tactical masterstroke regarding the starting eleven he picked for Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with European champions Real Madrid, of which Pochettino gave a jovial insight.

Pochettino revealed to the press: “Some people close to us said, ‘Can I be honest with you? When I saw the XI, what the f***?” …Ten minutes after the end of the game, they said ‘you are a genius!’ I said ‘ok thank you! But before I was very bad?’”

The Tottenham line-up for the Champions League clash certainly caused a stir when he picked both Harry Kane and Fernando Llorente to lead the line along with some other tweaks to his line-up, including Jan Vertonghen operating in a left-sided role.

It’s great to see the Spurs boss in such high spirits, let’s hope he’s in the same mood on Sunday evening following the Liverpool clash at Wembley!
