Since Pochettino took charge in 2014, Tottenham have reached new heights. Before that, competing for a position in the top 4 was also a difficulty for the roosters. They have been recognized as a big team, on par with the big guys in the Premier League. In fact, Tottenham almost won the championship in the 2015 2016 season.
This season, what Tottenham have shown is also very good. They have always chased Liverpool and Man City closely in the Premier League. After only 2 consecutive defeats against Burnley and Chelsea, their chances have become far away.
Coach Pochettino himself admitted: If you want to be a real candidate for the Premier League title, you cant lose to Burnley. A team competing for the championship needs to show effort and stability at the most important moments, Tottenham are not having that.
We have to look at ourselves. Over the past 5 years, Tottenham has improved a lot, we have become one of the strengths of English football. In the Champions League arena, we have also made progress, in the last 2 seasons we have passed the group stage.
Tottenham have improved, but to win big trophies, we need more time. Tottenham need 5 years to get what they are at the moment, we need another 5 years to be able to aim for the Premier League or Champions League title."
"Now fighting Liverpool and Man City is no longer possible, they will compete for the championship and we will only try to get each first point." Argentina coach concluded.
