Tottenham Hotspur boss lays it into Chelsea following draw
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has called Chelsea ‘a small club’ following their 0-0 draw on Sunday lunchtime.
The London derby ended in a goalless draw at White Hart Lane, with neither side looking convincing in front of goal, and the highlight of the match was probably what was going on off of it with Diego Costa and Jose Mourinho.
However, Pochettino wanted some of the spotlight and he got that after the game when he labelled the Premier League champions ‘a small club’.
Chelsea have had a nightmare start to their Premier League defence, winning just four out of their first 14 games, and after the draw with Spurs, Pochettino admitted that the Blues felt like a small team to play against.
Small Team
He said: “You got the feeling that Chelsea were a small team, and Tottenham can win every game we play.
“It’s very difficult, though. We’re the youngest team in the Premier League and the maturity we showed today we have shown in different games.
“We have to feel happy. It’s a good thing that, maybe, we are a bigger club than Chelsea or that we deserve more.
“We showed good performances in the last few games, and I’m happy, but we have to keep working hard.
“We’ve only had 14 games in the Premier League and it’s too early to think about the end.”
