2:20 poch literally predicted arteta's coaching rise
One of my most enjoyable interviews yet, loved chatting to Poch. Hope you enjoy it 👍
Try Klopp 😉
Will he manage England in the next twenty years?
@@rossg9361 no
I’m Argentinian I love both players but messi is the goat come on at 31 he has over 30 goals Maradona at this age had like 9 goals in the same amount of games but it’s either one they are both unreal
@@rossg9361 no he will be spurs forever 😯😯
wow what a nice guy /great Manager
shut up
@@icewhiteporsche why should he shut
@@evernc_mkcs2038 i'm gonna smack u
No hate but I find it interesting Messi is loved more than Maradona pretty much everywhere except his own country
Simple. Maradona was part of a world cup winning team and Messi wasn't.
Not true at all. Not where I’m from-the Caribbean. There is no way Mexicans love Messi more than Diego, and the same is true of Italy.
Boominaughty Maradona wasn’t just part of a World Cup winning team he literally won it almost single handedly if Messi won it in 2014 his performance still wouldn’t be half of what Maradonas was at the World Cup
craiganthonyevo Yh truss me Messi absolutely amazing and definitely the best ever with Maradona but not by far it’s quite close between them
@craiganthonyevo Maldini, in his words, said Messi is better than Maradona at the 2015 Balond'or ceremony. I don't know what you'd make of it. Most quality footballers and coaches that're not directly associated with CR7 or Maradona have no problem saying Messi is GOAT, that too since Messi was 23. Imagine being called GOAT at '23'!!
This man is talking sense when he said MARADONA is the king and best of all times it is absolutely right
He's magic, you know
Tim Parish he’s coming united you knowwwww
You’ll never get past sissoko
@@Mufc4life1998 haha how many utd fans actually still think this? He's said so many times that he wants to stay at spurs, and even if he wanted to move the chairman has said he won't sell him for any price. He's recently signed a new contract as well so he'll be here for the forseeable
Mufc4life1998 lad he said after the hype of him going Man U that he wants to stay at spurs for 20 years at least
Ryan Lombardo can’t wait for you to never win a trophy for 20 years then
Its amazing I have not heard a single contemporary player of Maradona criticizing him - they always thought fondly of him, almost as a God..
Okocha and Dembele are two absolutely underrated legends! I mean Dembele who’s built like a tank dances past players so gracefully! Absolute Legend!
Yes, finally someone who acknowledge how talented Mikel Arteta was
Great manager from a City fan. Him, Klopp and Pep are all amazing and the top 3 in that order reflects the truth
Joe Pesci appreciate that. 👍🏽 (Spurs fan)
Can’t forget about Ole Gunnar solskjaer
Want to see how the order pans out come May COYS
Ali_MFortnite 330001 he seems to be doing very well, but can’t speak about him just yet
Don't forget Sarri 😁
Oooooooo he’s majic you knowwwww
Mauricioooooo pochettino !!!!!! COYS
Humble in victory and dignified in defeat. A lot of managers could learn a thing or two about respect from Poch.
Jay jay okocha😍😍. I love this. I am a Nigerian
@Electro Power he also had more skill than ronaldinho
I'm lucky I watched him when he was playing in Turkey. Even Jay Jay played for rivalry team I still proud to have seen him in my country.
I like okocha. Greetings from Morocco.
Hushpuppi is Nigerian too
@@grobariza no way
It's always great to see a guy who is so comfortable with himself, so affable, and yet such a brilliant coach who wants to motivate his players to win. Interesting to hear his thoughts about Arteta - it's probably not surprising that Pep asked him to come to City.
Maradona has the will and heart of a leader and a champion which i havent seen that much nowadays
He has the capacity to marry my daughter
Unknown Roaster hahahaha 😁😁😁
Ivan De La Pena...when he said that I was like yesssss. Almost forgot about him but he was a glorious player.
And Jay Jay Okocha too. Some serious quality in there.
I'm sure Aimar, Riquelme & Saviola weren't too far away from his squad either.
Not to forget Batistuta and Crespo, those players were clinical
Good lord yes! Crespo pre England. But Batistuta too right into his 30s at Roma!
I'm from England, I think Maradona is the greatest player ever.
He's a big time cheater and a drug addict.
Your neighborhood friend
imagine if he wasnt a drug addict.
Your neighborhood friend and he’s still the best! Imagine he wasn’t always coked up! 🤯
Nah messi is the goat
He's such a charismatic yet demanding manager at the same time. He's truly amazing.
Spoke no english when he arrived in England now look at him, his english is probably better than most english speaking people, amazing, great manager and a top bloke too.
That is good English???? Im 3 years in UK and speak 5x better with much better accent... But youre right U can find many many foreigners here living for years without language...
Can't believe some Arsenal fans thought Alex Iwobi was going to be the next Jay Jay Okocha, smh!
Maradona ♥️
I didnt see him
I think he was one of the best of all times
I rrspect poch as a person and he is nice guy
What a guy. Don't ever leave the Tottenham you are doing a great job.
Gracias poche por no olvidarte del goat Diego Armando Maradona. Orgullo argentino
I love this guy so glad hes our manager
Great interviewer! Am happy Pochettino talked about Jay Jay Okocha the way he did. Cos, he is a great player in every sense!
What a guy, so happy to have him at Tottenham 💙
love watching these videos...you find out what the great coaches and players are thinking
Hes just an absolute dude. Oooozes coolness. Hope he stays with spurs 4 a long time
Great stuff. We love our Poch. (He's magic, you know) COYS!
very respectable guy
harry winks is magic
He is
You've commented that everywhere
@@oliverconnolly1963 surprised someone noticed
on what other video youve seen me commenting that im interested
and also because he is
He’s average at best and I’m a spurs fan
@@DREADL he's a beast
I love Messi, but he can never replace Maradona in my heart. This is impossible.
It's great to see Poch give respect to Okocha, one of the most underrated players ever.
2.30 talking on Mikel. COYG
Coach with managing football system consistency:
1. Rinus Michels
2. Marcelo Bielsa
3. Mauricio Pochettino
What a nice guys! Que tipazo Poche!
Take a shot every time he says "capacity". Fun night that'll be
Long time since I saw such a good interview(er) like this, good job.
Good trainer poch! I also like that he has eliminated the sold smoke of Guardiola. greetings from Lima 🇵🇪 Perú!!
How many trophies has he won with spurs?
4:50 for who the best is (Messi or maradonna)
Except he didn't have the right answer :P
@Electro Power maybe they are not the same player. Maybe one is better than the other. But I think it is very complicated and it really does not matter. Some people argue just for fun I guess.
1.Pele
2.Maradona
3. Cristiano Ronaldo
4.Messi
@@Dougie- yes, messi is so better than maradona
Thanks
What a great personality is that fellow! I like him a lot ! :)
Maradona is really the best player of all time,probably a bit underrated because of his shitty charachter off the pitch, but that guy on the pitch was simply incredible he and the ball were like if it was a part of his body simply incredible, he was in risk every match cause every time rivals tried to injured him. Most of people that dont say he is the best probably didnt saw him playing or are born since 1995, only rate him cause his character, are messi or ronaldo fanboys(most of people) or are english. And i dont approve drugs, but he started arround 1990 and consuming drugs dont make you better on the pitch or give you some advantaje, but in his prime he didnt in 1984-1989 he was too good. Just imagine if he wouldnt have drugs he would have been unbeatable he even said "if i didnt do the bad things i made, pele would not even come second." In Napoles people have the "maradonian religion". But still Messi is very good and i am argentinian that leaves in england btw jaja. My top 5: Maradona, Messi, Pele, Cruyff and brazilian Ronaldo. Also CR7 and Zidane had to be on the top 10!
if he would have behaved he would no doubt be considered the Greatest of all time today but since he didn't he's paying the price but I do agree with you he is underated but it's not because of his talent but for the reason I just explained.
I totally agree
They don't say he is the best because if hate. They hate him because of his personality and the infamous hand of God
Jay Jay Okocha...so good they named him 2ce.
This is a good man.
thank you Mauricio
Vamos Poch, me gusta mucho tu Pais, saludos desde Leicester .
Jay Jay Okocha so good they named him twice.....
Diego maradona greatest of all time

I’ve never seen pochettino without a tracksuit
In most games he wears a suit( sometimes with a coat on).
Wara about for mourinho funeral at OT
1:01?
@@danhogarty7198 hahah u knoe
only on european nights or top 6 games
Great man
i had an de la pena trikot in the 90s from Lazio Rom, great Player, no one remembers him sadly
Forgot to mention Eric Dier
Players that he played with though
Neymar Jr
*the joke*
(Your head)
Love Poch as a rangers fan viewing from outside Poch and Klopp are brilliant to watch
Maradona was the most talented player to ever play the game so far. Messi has better stats that’s off the table. He is better but Maradona is my favourite. If l’m playing against my greatest enemy, I would pick Diego without a question.
Finally somebody aknowlogde Okocha
Messi is the best ever.Maradona was a stronger version of messi maradona had to endure more physical abuse tackling wise.people trying to injure him etc and he won a world cup he didnt have the consistentcy of messi though. But messi is better i think if it wasnt for his argentina team mates like higuain who cant finish a chance for the life of them messi would have won the world cup in 2014. But also because he is so consistent for his age the amount of goals he scores year in year out he has a better ratio on scoring than cristiano at this point of their careers. He can dribble like no one else. Assists. Free kicks. For me he is the most talented player i have ever seen. So for me messi is the best ever
Are you Pochettino?
@@bofi9301 Yes
This makes no sense
Yea that's your opinion. But Maradona had more tricks up his sleeve. Maradona went to lesser known Napoli and won a champions league. I wanna see Messi join Napoli and win a champions league. Lol won't happen.
Flexer MC you can’t assume that Argentina would’ve won the World Cup final if higuain scored that change
Also Messi has played with better players for Argentina than Maradona
Maradona won the greatest tournament in the world by himself
Sank you very moch! What a guy! I hope he coaches Argentina one day
Poch knows ball for predicting Mikel Arteta will be a top manager.
I always say Okocha and Dinho are the most skillful players i've ever seen.
George Best on crappy pitches, cow pastures.
I find it unreal Okacha gets overlooked, ever watch the Nigeria vs Brazil game? Maradonna would win the game on his own for his team..watch Okocha do it against Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and the rest.
Okocha was so good, they named him twice.
Both great players but ever seen... cmon, messi? ronaldo? Best, Law, Zidane? i could go on for days...
@@mwarr777 HAHAHA Messi, Best, Law don't even come close to these guys for skill. They were great dribblers but not skill.
Coming home in the summer
incredible
Imagine trying to defend against ‘dihno and Maradona up front together, especially with those two midfielders pulling the strings and picking out passes for them, terrifying...
It is so funny that when Managers talk about the best players of all time , they always name players but not C. Ronaldo... after that some Facebook experts want to tell me that he is the GOAT😂😂😂 just stfu
Jay Jay Okocha was amazing!! Also in Frankfurt he destroyed everything..
mauricio is so likeable
Back in the day, I remember Del la penas name on the back of a lot people football shirts.
Poch didn’t pick himself
He did put himself in the subs
Because he is Manager.
@@tennam8349 he was a player too he played with PSG and Espanyol
I can't get enough of the throwback pictures of Poch with long hair.
"Moussa Dembele is the best player in the world at 5-a-side" - Kevin De bruyne
L.E.V.I one of the best in 11 a side too
Oh u can't beat him he is so big
I wonder why CR7 never ever gets mentioned in the ranks of the likes of Pele and Maradona but Messi is almost always there. All the keyboard warriors would beg to differ of course.
On the other side of the coin, there's no one in football history comparable to CR7
(i'm not a CR7 fan boy)
Cyan Phoenix uhhh Messi isn’t?
@@TheCyanPhoenix yeahhh..... sure you're not a CR7 fan boy lmfao 😂😂😂
@@yourlordandsaviouryeesusbe2998 You can respect a player or a person away from the idol's pedestal. However, this concept is harder to grasp in teenage years... now, can you name a player comparable to CR7? Because i can't fathom one :)
Let's hope he is given a budget to get some players who share the abilities of his Five-aside team
Poch was giving an extremely good reference for Mikhel Arteta 🤗 If Arteta was that good at age 17 as he mentioned... wow!!! Was it a recommendation for his preferred succesor?🤔
and look at him now
just sanqiu pochettino! sanqiu ... i love that guy!!!
Jay Jay Okocha, one great player.
Fenners just sat there in silence waiting for Poch to tell him who the first two players were🤣🤣🤣
Suggestion - you and the other soccer am guys should come up with a prediction XI based on the players that the guest has played with and compare it to their actual selection.
What a nice bloke
Of course Maradona was the best and he’s the king 🤴
Yes, was.
Jay Jay Okocha, so good that they named him twice!
He has the capacity to say capacity.
Messi established himself has the best player of all time in 2011. All he needs is a world cup to cement his legacy, people remember trophies and goals. not the details. That's why Ronaldo gets credit for winning Euro and proving himself with his country even though his team literally won the final without him. People forget that ronaldo was on that stacked Portugal that choked to greece in 2004
Boominaughty if u look at it that way Messi wouldn’t match Maradonas World Cup win because the way Maradona won it he contributed to the team better than everyone else, if Messi won the World Cup in 2014 it still wouldn’t match half of Maradonas performance in the World Cup he won because he almost single handedly won it
@@safwan1990you believe Maradona won the WC singlehandedly when he wasn't even among the 3 argentines who scored in the final. You think he was scoring "the goal of the century" every game? Lool. Messi won the Best player of the tournament for a reason go watch the damn games you bellend
Boominaughty looooooool Maradona wasn’t just goals fam he scored 5 and assisted 5 only 4 goals were scored by Argentina that Maradona didn’t contribute, he created 75% of the chances, completed 75% of dribbles, most fouled player, goal of the century Maradona wasn’t even a goalscorer
Boominaughty tell me this, why is Maradona literally the only player out of the top 5 greatest ever who has the least amount of goals? That says something in itself Pele, CR7, R9, Messi have double the goals of Maradona, so why is Maradona in the conversation?
Boominaughty I do think Messi is the best ever but if Messi wins the World Cup I don’t think it would be so simple for people to say he’s better than Maradona because his performance just doesn’t match it, Messi can’t carry the team the way Maradona did
Jajaja el acento de Mauri! Sos más Argentino que el dulce de leche 😆😂😂
Never knew Arteta & Poch played together
Jay jay Okocha what a magician on the pitch
The Best player of all time has not been born yet ⚽️
Haha, Jay Jay! Good choice!
To me, messi is the best ever, he is younger than ronaldo and has more in every stat that ronaldo, so messi for me ( ik marodona is part of this but he doesn’t matter)
Why you gotta bring Ronaldo into this? Its about Messi vs Maradona.
you don't have to see any stat to choose your favorite player! you see the moves,the touch ,the passion...CR shouldn't even been mentioned together with pele,maradonna,cruyff,messi...
Ur a Child what do u know?
@@megathrash8539 hater cry
The only stat Messi surpasses Ronaldo in are La Liga records, Ronaldo has CL and international records.
For me Maradona was the most skillful player who's ever played the game. His talent was ridiculous. But he wasn't the best. Although he shone brightest for a time his overall career was a tale of unfulfilled brilliance due to living a certain lifestyle that involved partying, drugs, etc. To be fair there were some unfortunate injury's and illness too, especially during his time at Barcelona, but he wasted his god given brilliance and large parts of his career on his own.
Who is here after Poch gets to manage messi?
ivan de la pena, the original xavi, the little buddha himself. espanyol legend
Now Pochettino will coach Messi
Such a likeable gaffer.
Jay Jay Okocha and Ronaldinho are the most skillful players of all time
Ivan de la Pena and Jay Jay 🔥
Really interesting insight from a great manager who was also a pretty good player in his day. I can't understand some of the ignorant comments here from people saying the English hate Maradona. Those of us who actually saw what he did on the day can only agree with Maradona's response to what he did - he was mortified. After blatantly tipping the ball in with his hand, almost for a laugh, he was the first person that ran to the referee to pointing out that it was a hand ball and the goal shouldn't stand. There was, at the time (and probably still today) massive pressure put on officials to ensure that England were officiated against in every decision because of the way our press was uncovering fraud in both FIFA and the IOC. His second goal you can only marvel at no matter where you come from. If you play like that and it doesn't result in a goal, you've been robbed. In my opinion, Maradona had the sh1t kicked out of him in just about every game he played. If he was playing today under the current rules for both offside and tackles from behind which make it far easier for creative and intelligent players now than in his day, I believe the consensus would easily show him to be better than even Messi. My own preference for the greatest of all time, though, goes to Ronaldinho. His skill on the ball, tricks, artistry and just the sheer joy he brought onto the pitch, his character and attitude spoke volumes of him as a man and lifted everyone who played on the same pitch. Elsewhere on TH-cam there is a plethora of vids showing Ronaldinho at his best, well worth a look for any fan.
Capacity capaciteeee capaciteeeee
We need the rare footage of dinho n okocha
I am officially pochettino fan
Diego Maradona was at his peak for 3-4 seasons, doing amazing things like winning world cup '86 or Serie A with Napoli...Messi , on the other hand, is the Maradona of '86 every moment, almost every match that he has played, for the last 14 years...absolutely incredible ... and considering Barcelona to be such a big club in Europe, where all the great footballers of the world dreams to play, Messi has remained their central force for more than a decade now..that is no less a feat than winning a league for Napoli..International trophy for Argentina??To summarize in brief, Messi pulled out almost every bit of energy from every tissue in his body to win the WC , but the team around him let him down in every possible way ... also, he does not have the champions luck in WC, which Maradona had in '86 ...that hand of God moment..But , fortunately, Messi being a freak of nature, at this moment is still going great guns, (just finished off watching Barcelona vs Liverpool , champions league 2019, whatta free kick ), i still believe he'll throw a last attempt for Qatar WC 2022...The most important yardstick for evaluating a sports man is consistency, and there's no one beating Messi there
That last attempt at the World Cup in Qatar was successful. Messi has won the World Cup with Argentina on the 18th of December 2022.
Me mata tu acento, Mauricio! XD Capo
