Always it is important to improve.
Mauricio Pochettino
I'm of the older generation. I accept the new technology, but I try to keep a bit of that away.
For me, family and football are the most important things. They are in the same level.
I am a person who is always positive.
I am a very lucky person because I am not focused on social media and all that happens around.
Belief is the most important thing in football. Not quality, running, or being strong but belief, faith, and fight.
Sometimes when you have lost, you don't want to speak to anybody.
I always said anything is possible in football if you have faith and quality.
I grew up in Newell's Old Boys and will never manage Rosario Central. That is my decision because I prefer to work on my farm in Argentina than in some places.
You judge someone from the day you meet them.
The most important thing is to explain day by day that life is very short, and we need to spend the day thinking and enjoying life. We can't been thinking too much and worrying about what is happening tomorrow.
When you concede in less than two minutes, it changes completely everything.
When you are young, you need to know the reality because when you are in your bubble, you believe that, always, all you do is right. And sometimes you need people who say, 'Hey, come on, what happened with you?'
I am a person that likes to move on. I am the first to make mistakes in my life.
I am not the victim, and I won't be the victim in football or life.
To show respect for the opponent is to go and kill with every single action. That is the way you show it. You need to be aggressive. That is how I understand football.
I don't have social media, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, nothing. I don't receive information. That's why my head, my face, looks younger than I really am.
You never know in football.
I am never going to be manager of Barcelona or Arsenal because I am so identified with Tottenham and Espanyol.
Managers and players at different clubs, it's difficult to compare.
We can't see every small detail in football.
Nothing is impossible in football, and that is our idea, our philosophy.
Rumours are rumours and always happen, not only at Tottenham but every team.
I am not a person who is going to convince players to stay or not stay.
What is going to happen tomorrow, I don't know, but I will always tell you 'football is football.' Football will put you in your place always.
If your own fans didn't want you, there is no point to carry on working because you are going to damage first of all your company, your club.
You cannot guess what happens in the future.
My life is 24 hours talking about football. For me, it is every conversation, every action. It is my life, my passion.
The best agent for me is myself.
If my ambition in Tottenham is only to win the Carabao Cup or FA Cup, with all the respect for that, I think my ambition does not match the ambition of a club like Tottenham.
When you build a team, and you have 24 or 25 players, all can be decisive; can be important.
Tottenham has given me value.
When you are next to Harry Kane, achieving all he is and scoring so many goals, it's normal that the focus is on Harry Kane.
I don't want to lie. Always, I want to be honest and I say,I don't think about tomorrow. I don't think about next season.'
If you win, of course celebrate and show the fans you're happy - it's fantastic - but when you win a trophy, when you win something special.
Sometimes it looks like the board and the chairman are the worst enemy of the manager and the coaching staff, the football versus the financial side.
The platform that we have created here in Tottenham is the most important, the platform we created between all the coaching staff - in the academy and the first team. The platform we created is more important than one person.
All negative things you can turn positive, and for me, that is key.
When Real Madrid call you, you have to listen to them.
It's difficult to innovate, but you must try to create a project under your ideas and philosophies to take you ahead of other clubs.
It motivates me, being a parakeet and living for so many years in Barcelona. Going back to the city is always something nice, and playing against Barca, too.
When English football started to integrate more with European football, England started to share the Latin culture more.
I enjoy my time in Tottenham a lot.
I am so proud to be a manager in England.
Sometimes, my kids say to me, 'Ah, you played with Maradona; you played with this, or you played with that.' And they are so proud.
When I stopped playing football, I stopped my relationship with my agent. I always had one agent.
That is the difference from being a manager and being a player: As a player, if you sign a contract for four years, if you want to be there for four years, you are. But as a manager, it always depends on the sack. You are always under pressure.
For me, every single game is an opportunity to improve.
I think people always expect that when you have a good season and expect the next season to be better, and the season after better and better.
For me, what it means to be competitive is to work hard but compete in this type of game when you need to play, you need to suffer, you need to fight.
