Mauricio Pochettino: Kieran Trippier owes Budi to Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, did not bother about the statement of Kieran Trippier who seemed to attack Spurs. However, he warned, the player who is now defending Atletico Madrid has a debt of gratitude to Spurs.

"I don't have a case with Kieran. In football, decisions and players are always available from one club to another. Something happened, it happened and we have to go through it. He must think about Atletico Madrid and be satisfied there. Not available means that if something happens or doesn't happen, "explained Mauricio Pochettino as quoted from Football London.

Furthermore, the Argentine manager said, Kieran Trippier should not speak ill of Tottenham Hotspur. The reason is, if Spurs had not been bought from Burnley, he might be nobody and would not be a star at the 2018 World Cup.

"We recruited him from Burnley while being relegated for £ 4 million. He was worried about the possibility of playing or not. I told him, do not worry because we will provide the best conditions to look good. Then, 1.5 years later, he was in the starting XI, entered the English national team, played in the World Cup, and now he is with Atletico Madrid, "said Mauricio Pochettino again.

Even so, Mauricio Pochettino did not really bother. He claimed to always be proud of his former protégé. That, he said, could not just disappear.

"We are all proud to be able to help him achieve his dream and reach a level he did not achieve before the time he arrived at Tottenham. That became evidence for Tottenham and him. We are also satisfied that he is currently enjoying a new experience in Spain. I want him to achieve a good life there, "Mauricio Pochettino said again.
