Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino insists the role of the club has been crucial in keeping the star players at the club rather than his influence on the players.
A number of key players with the likes of Harry Kane, Erik Lamela, Heung-min Son and Davinson Sanchez already committed their long term future with the club and most recently Dele Alli joined the coveted list as he put pen to paper to a new six year contract.
The contract renewal was important in sustaining the growth the club has witnessed under the guidance of Pochettino since he took over the reign. The North London giants have been pretty consistent when it comes to finishing in the top four.
But their quest for a Premier League title is yet to see the light.
Pochettino said, “They have confidence in me, yes of course. But it is not that they attached to me only.
“It is about the club, it is about many things. If I believe Dele or a different player is only going to sign a contract because of me, it is a bad feeling, or I am wrong in my head.
“I think for me the most important thing… I think the club always need to be above the manager, the player.
“You need to feel you are going to play of course but it is about wanting to play for Tottenham.
“You need to play for something that is bigger than a person. It is nice to hear the player say one of the reasons is the manager or the chairman or the new stadium is so exciting.
“I want to hear them say I want to play for Tottenham, to make history, to touch glory with this badge.
“For me I feel proud the players care about you, but I repeat the responsibility is wanting to play for the glory of the club.”
