Mauricio Pochettino : 'Every game is difficult'

"Every game is difficult. I think that we came from a tough circumstance, 10 games in under 40 days is difficult with all the issues of Covid 19 and it’s a special time. That’s why we’re happy with the three points and overall with the win and the very professional performance. I’m happy with the performance and the mentality of the players. We fight and try to find the victory. Now it’s about changing our minds onto the Champions League game in Barcelona. It’s going to be tough because we’re going to be playing a very good team once more."

"It was a tough game for us because Nice played well. Like I said it wasn’t easy but we tried to find spaces to play and I think that we deserved the win even if it wasn’t easy. We’re also missing certain players and some others like myself who were lacking rhythm. That’s why I think that it was very important to win today and get the three points at home. I haven’t started in a while and so it was great for me of course but as I always say it’s more important to win the game than that one player or another scores. The team is more important and that’s why I’m happy to have been able to help today."

"I’m very happy because we got the win. We played the way we wanted to. We played well against a side who are tough to beat when they have the ball. At the end of the day the win is the most important thing. From tomorrow onwards we’re going to focus on the Barcelona game. It will be a very very difficult game and we’re going to go into it in the best way possible."
