Pochettino: "Football is important but the family is above everything"

At the Parc des Princes 

The match

 : “I am satisfied with the victory and the state of mind shown by the players.

I take this opportunity to congratulate them for what they have done.

The last few days have been difficult, not only because of the defeat against Nantes (1-2) but everything else (the burglaries on Sunday, editor's note)… I take this opportunity to greet the families who have been affected.

I thank the players for their involvement and their state of mind. ”  

The supporters

 : “There is a lot of lack… Their energy and support would have benefited us in other matches.

Its very important for us."

He shows an extraordinary competitive state of mind and his qualities, we know them… He was decisive in the last matches, with extraordinary performances. "

Pochettino on Mbappé

The positioning of Kylian Mbappé

 : “He is an extraordinary player who can evolve in all sectors.

What he loves more than anything is being on the pitch and playing. ”   

Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos

 : “We talk constantly.

We made the decision to count with them. ”
