Speaking on the Under the Cosh Podcast, Kieran Trippier has been discussing Mauricio Pochettino and his time under the Argentine at Spurs.
Trippier realy came into his own under Pochettino at Tottenham, establishing himself as a Premier League and international star during their time together.
Trippier left Spurs a few months before Pochettino was sacked as the Tottenham manager, and while Trippier didn’t have the best of final seasons in north London, he maintains that Pochettino was an unbelievable manager who he couldn’t say a bad word about.
Trippier hails Pochettino
The right-back spoke highly of Pochettino and his training sessions.
“How intense the training was. Pochettino’s was on a different level. The Europa League and the Champions League, you realise you can’t do it at that level because it’s just a different level,” Trippier said.
“We never got days off, it was seven or eight weeks without a day off, but as a manager I can’t fault him, he was unbelievable.”
Took him to the next level
Trippier owes a lot to Pochettino it would seem.
During this podcast the right-back spoke about how his attitude and effort-levels weren’t necessarily the best before he came to Tottenham, but Pochettino seemingly turned him into a proper professional.
Say what you will about the Argentine and his record in recent years, he knows how to drill a team and at their best, his Spurs side played some wonderful football.
Trippier was at the heart of the Pochettino revolution at Spurs, and he’s certainly one of the Argentine’s greatest coaching success stories.
