During his time on the Chelsea bench between 2023 and 2024, Mauricio Pochettino offered a surprising scene to say the least at a press conference after a resounding victory (3-0) against Luton in August. Asked about Malang Sarr and Jamie Cumming, still present in the Blues squad at the time, the Argentine coach gave a disconcerting answer, apparently testifying to a total ignorance of the players concerned.
” Who ? Who is it ? I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know because you surprised me and so I’m stunned. We were talking about basic Luton,” he blurted out, visibly taken by surprise. The reaction of the former Paris Saint-Germain coach had also sparked general hilarity among journalists.
Sarr denounces Pochettino’s hypocrisy
Malang Sarr, who has been playing at RC Lens since this summer, recently returned to this episode in an interview with
The Team. The 25-year-old did not hide his bitterness at Pochettino’s comments, especially since he believes that the latter knew his identity perfectly, having already tried to enlist him in the past.
“I took it badly, it had no reason to be. He knew me, he even tried to recruit me to Tottenham. I didn’t even ask for an explanation.”said the Nice resident.
