Before the Champions League match with "Barcelona", the coach of "Tottenham Hotspur" team, Mauricio Pocchetino, speaking with the Spanish media, said that he would never coach the "Barcelona" team.
The coach believes that his past merits with the "Espanyol" team would never allow him to coach the Catalan giant. However, this motivates the coach to defeat this team.
"The duel with 'Barca' motivates me because I grew up in the 'Espanyol' system and lived in Barcelona for many years. It is more than obvious that me and 'Barcelona' don't get along. Coaching this team does not interest me," - said the coach of the London club.
The "Tottenham Hotspur" team needs points in this match - they lost the first match to the "Inter" team in Milan.
