Mauricio Pochettino has said his team cannot be compared to Liverpool.
“You cannot compare (Liverpool and Tottenham),” Pochettino said in an exclusive interview with Soccer Saturday. “When he [Klopp] arrived at Liverpool, it was only about focussing to try to build a team to be able to compete and be a real contender with other teams. Our philosophy is completely different and we cannot compare our two projects, they are on a completely different level.
“In the last two transfer windows we cannot sign one player, it is like we are banned like has happened with some clubs now! Because we are focussed on different things, that is why we are different, and we must be focussed on operating in different ways, but always being competitive as football is the most important thing in this company.
“Because they have an unbelievable squad (they are challenging for the title) and they are a team who every season were adding more quality. So it is normal that Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea were building to win and be a real contender.”
“Only in the last few games did they start to increase the gap,” he said. “We did not cope with the pressure on this type of game. But from the beginning, we were always there, fighting in a very good position. We are still in a good position, but it is true that today the gap is a little bit big.”
“But we have enough quality to beat them [Liverpool] and fight for big things and all is possible. Of course it is going to be tough and the challenge now on Sunday is to beat them at Anfield, where they are unbeaten.”
