He was speaking to The Standard ahead of clash with Tottenham on Monday. It will be an emotional moment for the Argentinian manager as he will return to his former home club since his sacking back in 2019.

He said,
“He’s a great professional, a great player, I’m so happy he’s the captain.
People grow, people become more mature, and they are top of the table so he must be doing something good as captain.
When people you like and love are happy and doing well, that increases your personal happiness.
We are this type of people that love and enjoy when people we know and you are part of his life are doing well.”
It was Pochettino who brought South Korean to London in 2015 when he bought him from Bayer Leverkusen. Since then, he is enjoying a fantastic spell with Tottenham in the Premier League. Despite numerous managerial transitions, the Korean has maintained his briliant display. Moreover, the 31-year old is aging like a fine wine under Ange.
