to Liverpool, speaks on Pochettino
Tottenham Hotspur
forward, Lucas Moura, has finally reacted to his side’s Champions League final
2-0 defeat to Liverpool over the weekend at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in
Madrid.
Moura stated that
he respected Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino’s decision for benching him
against Liverpool, adding that he was sad and very proud of his teammates
despite the loss.
Pochettino opted to
play Heung-min Son, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen against the
Reds as goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side
defeated Tottenham.
“I was very, very
sad. It is normal, I wanted to win. I really thought it was possible,” Moura
was quoted by Evening Standard as saying.
“I am sad but very
proud of my teammates, my team. I think we had a wonderful season. It was not
easy to reach the final.
“He [Pochettino]
must choose a starting XI, I must respect it. Most importantly, I was ready to
play. I was on the bench thinking about what I could do to help the team.
“When I entered, I
tried to do the best but it was not possible. It is football; you have to
respect the coach.”
