  • Date: 5th October 2019
  • Summary: BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, UK (OCTOBER 5, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER, MAURICIO POCHETTINO, ON HUGO LLORIS INJURY, SAYING: "I think the news is not good from the hospital, but we need to wait through the - I think through their website they're going to explain the real situation properly. But of course, everyone saw on the pitch, when he landed that it (wasn't) a good situation. And of course, the news is not so good." WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER, MAURICIO POCHETTINO, ON LOSSES, SAYING: "The problem now is that after five and a half years, the last five days, I think we really were punched for football. 7-2 and 3-0 today. And that is normal that you feel not so good. It's a tough moment, but from that moment you can only be better. And the most important (thing) now is to have these two weeks to try to put all the ideas clear, on the table and start to find solutions. That's football." WHITE FLASH (SOUNDBITE) (English) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER, MAURICIO POCHETTINO, ON IF HE IS WORRIED ABOUT HIS JOB, SAYING: "No, I am not worried. What worries me is life. Not football. It doesn't worry me. I don't want you to take it in the wrong way. What scares me is life. Not football. Football is a game that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But the problem is our habit was to win, win, win and to be a prize for everyone. And now maybe in the last two games it was a tough situation to accept, but I don't want to be a philosopher or to make prophecies now about that situation to talk in a way that maybe isn't good. But, what scares me is life, not football. Football is to be strong and be brave and make decisions and of course show your face when things are not good. That's what we're going to do. Face the negative things and try to work hard to try to change this dynamic." POCHETTINO LEAVING NEWS CONFERENCE

    News coming from the hospital regarding Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is "not so good," coach Mauricio Pochettino told a news conference on Saturday (October 5) after the Frenchman was carried off following a bad injury during Saturday's match against Brighton.
    Brighton went on to stomp a deflated Spurs 3-0 at Amex stadium, ensuring the visitors' nightmare week ended on the worst possible note.
    The result piles more pressure on Pochettino, who is struggling to counter Spurs' dip in form this season, following last season's dramatic run to the Champions League final.
    When asked about his future at the club, Pochettino said the decision was not his to make, but added that he was not worried.
