The world of football, which is always changing, is full of situations that its protagonists want to erase from history. It was the case, with absolute certainty, that they starred Mikel Arteta Arsenal manager, and Mauricio Pochettino, his Chelsea counterpart, who will test their mettle in the Premier League this weekend.
In particular, it is the Argentine who wants to delete the chapter that was announced Arteta this Friday. After qualifying Pochettinowho was with him as a player at Paris Saint-Germain, as “one of the people who influenced my career the most”, explained the incredible advice he gave him at the time.
“I will always be grateful to him for what he did for me in Paris, when he welcomed me as if he were her little brother for three months we lived in a hotel. Since then it has been model to follow“, it explained.
But he didn’t always follow their advice. Specifically the one who gave him these words one day: ‘Never be a coach, it’s too hard!’, he said to me one day. I already know that I will be a coach, despite everything…”, the Basque added with a laugh.
For his part, Pochettino said “I was not surprised to see Mikel succeed from the bench: At 17 years old he already has the soul of a coach. And he’s still very young: he could be one of the best coaches in history.”
“It will be strange for me to face him, but in this world you have to be very competitive: we want to win and destroy the enemy. It will be strange but it is an honor to see him on the Arsenal bench,” concluded Pochettino.
