Pochettino believes belief must travel with Spurs to Monaco

Tottenham Hotspur must take the belief they demonstrated at the weekend into Tuesday’s crucial Champions League game against Monaco, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Spurs boss saw Harry Kane score two late goals as the north London club overcame a 2-1 deficit to beat West Ham 3-2 at White Hart Lane on Saturday evening.

It moved Pochettino’s side up to fifth in the league, but they remain four points behind leaders Chelsea after draws to Arsenal, Leicester City and Bournemouth.

And Spurs now face a crucial Champions League game away at Monaco on Tuesday night – they trail the French side, who top Group E, by four points with two games to play.

“It’s our 12th game in the Premier League and we’re still unbeaten,” said Pochettino.

“That’s fantastic for us but you know the last month has been tough for us and it’s fantastic to discover that feeling again for the games ahead.

“The first is a game we must win against Monaco, and it’s for that reason we need to have the mentality and feeling that we can go to Monaco and win.

“That is the good thing we need to take out of the game.

“Never forget that always believing is the most important thing, work hard and that is the main thing we need to keep for the future.

“Football is never finished until the final whistle and if you believe, keep working and try to find the best situation to score, anything can happen in football.”
