Jonny Hayes is a good player. All the players trust the manager to bring in the players he believes should be added to the squad and his arrival is great for competition.
That's the big thing for youngsters. When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.
Pochettino is a manager with a lot of character, so Tottenham applies it in the field. That's why they have eliminated big clubs like Manchester City or Ajax.
Mauricio Pochettino - he was my captain at PSG and I always knew he would become a manager. He has taken a lot of influence from Marcelo Bielsa, who was his coach with Argentina; they used to talk about things a lot, and now you can see that his teams are really aggressive, both when attacking and defending.
Pochettino is a terrific manager if you look at the way his teams play.
Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.
As players, whenever the manager gets the sack, you have to look in the mirror and say it's not always the manager. It's down to the players.
I see differences in how I like to work with young players and how I like to give young players a chance maybe more than English managers.
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players, and you keep them in the right frame of mind, the manager is a success. The players make the manager. It's never the other way. Managing is not running, hitting, or stealing. Managing is getting your players to put out one hundred percent year after year. A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules. Talent is one thing. Being able to go from spring to October is another. You just got caught in a position where you have no position.
English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.
You can be the best manager in the world, but if the players don't trust you, it will never work.
If the manager can't transmit his ideas, and the players don't understand it, you've a problem. When your players can follow it, though, you've already won a lot in a season.
You can have Guardiola as a manager, you can have Koeman as a manager, anybody as a manager, but the players inside the white lines win the game.
I think that a lot of teams aren't as close-knit as we are because a lot of the Spanish speakers don't know English and some of the English guys don't care to try and learn Spanish and relate to Latin players.
There are a lot of young players here right now, and these guys are going to eventually learn as they go. Next year we can't use that as an excuse that we had so many young players on the team.
Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
