Mauricio Pochettino said he would “never” support Arsenal after seeing his Tottenham team overtake Manchester City ahead of the champions’ match with Unai Emery’s men this afternoon.
Asked whether he’d want Arsenal to win so he can seal second place behind Liverpool, Pochettino said: “No! Why? Never! No. I will watch the game and won’t be on one side or another. I am going to watch the game and accept whatever the result is.
“I am only going to watch the game and I’ll be happy with the result that’s they’re going to have.”
He also talked about his team could overtake Liverpool too, he said, “We don’t need to be in some position like today to convince ourselves about our capacity, our potential or possibility to win,” he said.
“We always believe in ourselves. We are there because we believe in ourselves. Then it’s if we are capable to fight until the end, to be close and fight until the end to go close to our opponent to be champions. Today, we are there because we deserve to be there. We will see what happens in the future.
“It’s about now praising the squad, the players, to be in the position we are in the Premier League, no-one believed at the beginning of the season that this squad was capable of being there. Because of our belief, how hard we work, our mentality and everything, we are there.”
