MUNTOT Post Match Presser
I thought this answer from Pochettino was interesting because it highlights one of the major differences between how Mourinho has approached the transfer market and lack of signings, and how Poch has handled even more challenging budget/signing limitations. Obviously their player/man management skills/approaches are very different.
Q: You said Lucas Moura had to prove himself, this was a big stage today, did he do that for you?
A: Yes, many many praise he is going to receive now. But for me I want to say to our chief scout Steve Hitchen and all the people that worked with him, because they advised to sign him. When the people sometimes criticise because always it is tough now, I think I need to say well done, because today's performance from Lucas Moura, for the people that advised and feel responsible too, they need to be praised too. That is why I want to congratulate them. There are always people who are working behind and it was a fantastic job because today I think Lucas deserves a lot of credit.
