  • SOUNDBITE (English): Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager:

    "I think we compete, in our last three seasons we compete. If you see our first season - fifth, third, second, and we are fifth again. I think we compete always, against the top six, the top 10 and the top 20. I think there's nothing wrong, it's of course about potential, quality and we are in our way trying to win things, to be competitive and of course if you compare all the teams in the top five, the top six, I think it's not too much positive, the stats (statistics), but I think we are doing so well."

    (On Alexis Sanchez, who joined Manchester United from Arsenal earlier this month):

    "I think he's a great player, of course he's one more that Manchester United add in their squad. But of course around Alexis Sanchez is (Paul) Pogba, (Juan) Mata, (Jesse) Lingard, (Marcus) Rashford, (Anthony) Martial, (Romelu) Lukaku, (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, plenty of talented players. I think he's one option more, another great player that they've added to their squad."
