The reason why Pochettino "would kick" a PSG player

Mauricio Pochettino has managed to have a positive start in his spell coaching France’s champions Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentinian played his sole World Cup for his national team when he was part of the club in 2002, and now enjoys feeling like home.

In an interesting interview with Spanish newspaper Marca, the 48-year-old coach who played for Newell’s Old Boys, Espanyol and PSG, he expressed many feelings on his new period. After a 12 year long career he finally won his first title. PSG defeated Olympique Marseille for the French SuperCup just a week ago.

In the chat, he praised Kylian Mbappé: “Today I was talking about him. How can you not love Kylian? As a person he is adorable, with a smile, an energy that charms. He is a boy who won the World Cup with France as part of the XI being 19… What else can I say? It has enormous potential”.

Apart from the French jewel, Pochettino was asked if Neymar have ever made a nutmeg move on him. His answer was half-scaring, half-funny: “No he didn’t. I will kick him if he does. We have had a good relationship with the whole team from the very beginning”. Pochettino played all his life as a center back and was certainly a hard player to go through.
