M. Pochettino: Defeat Shows We Are Not Yet Ready to Fight for the "Premier" League Title

The chief London "Tottenham" coach Mauricio Pochettino was not satisfied with the team's performance in the last match and stated that the loss only shows that they are not ready to give up on the English "Premier" league title.

The "Tottenham" footballers, who demonstrated excellent sports form after the New Year, suffered a defeat in yesterday's match after a long break. The "Liverpool" club, which had been without a taste of victory in five consecutive matches, defeated the "Spurs" at home with a score of 2-0.

"If "Chelsea" gains a 12-point lead, we will have problems not only us", - said M. Pochettino to BBC journalists.

"It is difficult to fight for the "Premier" league title when you demonstrate such a game. We lacked the desire to win these matches. It is hard to think about winning when you start the match at the pace we did today.

There was no moment in this match where we demonstrated a similar pace as our opponents. "Liverpool" deserves praise," - M. Pochettino continued about the poor mood of the team.

"To catch up with "Chelsea" in the race for the "Premier" league title is very difficult - they have a huge advantage. We are in second place in the standings, but we are not satisfied at all", - the strategist concluded.
