Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: Nobody owns a style of football

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists no style of football is perfect.

Pochettino says he isn't bothered about the claims of how the game is best played.

He said, "In football there is always a tendency. Any path can lead to success and each coach has to convey his style. Nobody owns a style. When we go in the history of football everything comes back, they are like the fashion.

"Nobody owns the truth. Nobody has created anything in this modern time. The debate is in possession. It seems that whoever does not have possession does not play football. I also love the counterattacks. Football is beautiful because of all the nuances it has.

"The coaches can move our idea and we can win with it while we transfer it to the players. The human component is fundamental. The secret is there."
