Tottenham boss Pochettino gets snappy with media

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was snappy with the media yesterday.

Pochettino was preparing for tonight's Europa League tie with Asteras Tripolis.

Pochettino insisted he was only grumpy because of a tiring journey, saying: "It's a good thing to be criticised for a manager. All managers in the world are criticised.

"Sometimes it's difficult to have all people agreeing with you and to make everyone happy - we are all referees, we are all managers, we are all journalists, sometimes.

"It's my job. I am calm, I know what my way is, how we need to manage our players and our squad. We have a clear way, a clear philosophy.

"I want to enjoy this game, the next one on Sunday and try to get three points, which is the most important thing in football."
