Pochettino: Messi has not played in a constant pressing style

Former PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino, recalling his time working in Paris, emphasized that there are unique challenges in working with star players. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Under the leadership of the Argentine specialist, players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe operated in the attacking line. This was reported by euro-football.ru.

According to Pochettino, players of such a level sometimes have more influence than the club they play for. He specifically mentioned that expecting constant pressing from Lionel Messi is incorrect.

In his opinion, Messi has never played in an active pressing style, even during his best years under Pep Guardiola, this was not characteristic of his playing style. Additionally, as the coach emphasized, if the team does not show good results, criticism is often directed at the coach.

Currently, Mauricio Pochettino is engaged in preparing the US national team for the World Cup. At the same time, rumors have circulated in the media that he might return to the Tottenham club in the summer.
