Mauricio Pochettino says managers must treat players as individuals
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says managers should treat their players as individuals and there is no right or wrong way to resolve dressing room conflicts.
The Argentine was asked to give his opinion on training ground footage which appeared to show signs of a strained relationship between Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and his former vice-captain Paul Pogba.
Pochettino says there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with dressing room issues and suggested managers should weigh up the circumstances and then use their experience and intuition before acting.
„You never know, every single situation is different,“ he said in his pre-Huddersfield press conference.
„There are many ways to sort problems, there is no one solution. No one is going to teach you from a book or you cannot buy the solution.
„It’s like in a game, with every little action you have to react and use your intuition and experience. When something wrong happens in the dynamic of the group, you have to use your experience (to deal with it).
„There is no clear way to behave. It’s like if you have two kids and you say when they misbehave you are going to apply the same (punishment). No, different time, different circumstances and everything is different.
„You are going to react depending on your emotional state. It’s difficult to guess what is going to happen.“
Pochettino confirmed Christian Eriksen will miss Saturday’s game against Huddersfield with an abdomen injury while goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (thigh) will be assessed on Friday and could still feature.
Serge Aurier picked up a thigh injury in Wednesday’s League Cup win over Watford and will miss the game along with Michel Vorm, who is continuing his rehab from a knee problem.
Spurs travel to the John Smith’s Stadium having played their last three games across three competitions.
Pochettino revealed how he plans his rotation policy weeks in advance and alters selections to manage injuries.
„I think the circumstances and when you analyse everything, it’s so important to provide the team with the best quality and energy in every single game,“ he explained.
„Of course we have a (long-term) plan and day-by-day we take decisions because different problems can happen and you need to fix those small problems that you don’t expect.
„You work with a long-term plan but of course it’s then day by day taking decisions, like this problem appearing after the Brighton game with Christian Eriksen.
„You need to take quick decisions and of course football is always very dynamic during the game on the pitch but also off the pitch with things you can’t anticipate. When something happens you have to make quick decisions.“
