Pochettino: America does not see football as a battle

Football is a field where feelings and passion unite millions of people around the world. However, attitudes toward this game differ from country to country. According to the experienced Argentine specialist Mauricio Pochettino, the United States has yet to fully feel the true spirit of football.

In September 2024, Pochettino was appointed as the head coach of the US national team, and in a recent interview, he shared important thoughts. According to him, in America, football is still seen as a means of pleasant pastime. He believes that football is actually about a “fighting spirit,” “complex struggle,” and “creating history together.”

“For me, this is an interesting challenge. In America, football is considered just an entertaining game. Whereas in other countries, this game is equated to a battle. You have to fight for victory every minute. We need to form the understanding in the US that football is the result of teamwork,” said the specialist.

Pochettino’s words are not just a message for the team, but a call to change the mentality throughout American football. His goal is to raise the national team to new heights, deepen the attitude toward football, and turn this sport in the US into a culture based on real competition.

At the same time, the coach also reminded that the phrase “national team” is not just a name, but a call to defend the honor of the country on the field.

For information, Mauricio Pochettino is a specialist who has gained significant experience in Europe with “Tottenham,” “Paris Saint-Germain,” and “Chelsea,” and is known for his teamwork, discipline, and attacking style of play.

While the US national team expects great results from him, he can bring not only results, but also a new vision and new spirit with his ideas. Without a doubt, this is a real opportunity to leave a mark in history. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
