Dutch great Van Hanegem scoffs at 'over-rated' Tottenham boss Pochettino

Dutch great Wim van Hanegem believes Liverpool will win the Champions League final.

Van Hanegem says Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is a superior tactician to Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who he believes was fortunate to defeat Ajax in last week's semifinal.

He told AD: “The fact that Spurs returned to the ArenA was not the merit of manager Mauricio Pochettino. Why would that be so? Because they trailed 2-0 and then decided to bring in that tall Spanish striker Fernando Llorente?

"Well, a master move according to the people who think they know. To me it seemed very logical. A trainer in the third class of amateur football would have done it, I reckon."
