Spurs midfielder Bentaleb happy embracing big Pochettino demands

Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is happy playing for manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Bentaleb admits Pochettino's training demands are challenging.

"He always wants the best out of the players and I think it is a really good thing," the Algeria international told Press Association Sport.

"I didn't have much (of a pre-season), to be fair, because of the World Cup, but when I came back it was tough.

"That's the way to work when you want to go for fourth place."
