Tottenham must recover quickly from their
Europa League loss to Fiorentina before Sunday’s
League Cup final against Chelsea, according to
manager Mauricio Pochettino.
.
Spurs lost 2-0 after an error-strewn display in
Florence and were eliminated 3-1 on aggregate in the
round of 32.
.
“We need to recover quickly, because on Sunday we
have another game,” the Argentine said.
.
“This one was the first final for us but we need to
look forwards.”
.
Pochettino said a glaring first-half miss by striker
Roberto Soldado was a decisive moment in the tie.
.
“It is true that it was key, this action,” he said. “You
need some luck to score sometimes if you are to win
the games.
.
“In the second half we made some mistakes and we
took a risk and Fiorentina scored.
.
“We played well and dominated the game, but you
only deserve to go through to the next round if you
score.”
