The head coach of London's Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino, accurately explains why his team's athletic form has dropped so much, but admits that the victory against Madrid's Real could have given his team too much confidence.
Tottenham defeated the champions of the tournament with a score of 3-1 in the Champions League a little earlier, but after this victory, the Spurs' form only worsened. Now, in the last five matches, the North London team has only won once.
Today, Tottenham will face Nicosia's APOEL in the Champions League match, so Pochettino hopes that after these matches, the team will return to its old form.
"Perhaps these results are because we were too confident in ourselves," - said Pochettino. - Another possible reason is that after defeating Real, we started to think better of ourselves than we actually are. Something changed in our minds after those matches, and this could have affected the current results."
"But this often happens in football. Sometimes you start to think that you can rise to the top very quickly, but later you realize that you are simply not ready for it yet," - concluded the strategist.
