“I watch Spurs a lot, I’ve interviewed Mauricio Pochettino at the training ground and I’m a big admirer of the way he gets the team organised but allows it to be extremely efficient and clever about how it attacks, either when you dominate the game or when you’re counter-attacking. One of the things that stood out about the first game is that not many teams come to the Bernabeu, get a draw and get a really warm reception in the Madrid media afterwards. Teams do come and draw – Levante got a point, Valencia got a point and Real Betis won in the most dramatic fashion possible and therefore I never thought Spurs coming to the Bernabeu and getting a point was a silly idea.
