"Inadmissible", "unacceptable"... At a press conference after the poor performance of his players this Sunday in Monaco (3-0 defeat), the Parisian coach appeared very disappointed and even angry with his team, which did not had the right attitude to hope for better at the Louis-II stadium.
Do you feel ashamed after this catastrophic performance from start to finish?
MAURICIO POCHETTINO.
Yes, this is unacceptable.
We can't start the game this way.
There is shame, because we are competitors.
We must now move forward and finally erase the frustration of the Champions League by thinking of giving the best of ourselves for the club, for the institution.
How do you explain it?
We didn't have the fighting spirit, not the right spirit to fight against a team that was affected after suffering an elimination in the Europa League.
Our first half is unacceptable!
Stop finding excuses, pretexts
Were you worried that the season would end in a very sad way, with a succession of games like this?
No it shouldn't happen.
We can lose matches and have bad performances, but we can't repeat this kind of match because it's serious!
Today it is a collective question, we must not focus on individuals.
The most important thing is to find solutions and stop finding excuses, pretexts.
We must react now.
What levers can you activate so that your players react correctly?
The next few days we won't have most of the players as they will be leaving with their national team.
It is everyone's responsibility.
Everyone must think collectively.
We may have moved away from that after the elimination against Real Madrid.
Behaviors must be more collective.
