Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino saw his side lose 1-0 at White Hart Lane last night.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has said to Football.London that his half-time team-talk last night was spent trying to correct errors with his team.

Tottenham were absolutely abject in the opening 45 minutes of their Champions League semi-final with Ajax and were lucky to come into the break at 1-0 down.

Donny van de Beek scored early for Ajax, with Spurs really struggling to get to grips with the game.

Tottenham did improve significantly in the second half, even though they were unable to pick up a victory.

And Pochettino admits that he had to address a number of issues in the dressing room at half-time yesterday.

He said: “We fix some situation on the pitch, some tactical things and then we talk of course about things to try to help the team and try to provide the best tools for the second half.”

Tottenham failed to really create any chances of note in the contest, with their final ball very poor.

The task is now very obvious for Tottenham ahead of the second leg in Holland – they must win.

Spurs will be boosted by Heung-Min Son’s return for next week’s match.
