Man Utd midfielder Eriksen on Chelsea target Pochettino: He joined Spurs at right time

 


Former Tottenham and current Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has spoken about ex-coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Eriksen and Pochettino were extremely successful during their years at Spurs.

With news that Pochettino is likely to take over at Chelsea in the summer, Eriksen gave some insight into the Argentine's methods.

The Danish international told the official Manchester United website: "I had Poch for a lot longer than the other managers and I think what we did and what we created with him, the team we had was incredible.

"So, learning wise, I did learn from Poch. You'd have the ball less in training than before but have the ball a lot more in the games.

“With him, there was a lot of tough training, a lot of running, which is important for the physical part. We were a young side so, for us, it was the perfect mix and, just in the game, to play free."
