Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino says his love of football means he never gets stressed following news of Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool.
Jürgen Klopp’s announcement that he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season has shocked the footballing world, with the German admitting he is “running out of energy” after almost nine years at Anfield. Pochettino was asked how he manages to detach himself from the pressure of running a football club and replied that his passion for the game gives him all the energy he needs.
Pochettino understands Klopp
He told reporters: “Football never stresses you out. It never makes you spend energy the wrong way, it’s always the right way. It still has an impact on the environment. Today, football is a business, which perhaps affects the coaches a little. But in football in general, when I participate in a training session, when we play a match, and even when I am with you here (at the press conference), we recharge the energy. It’s like we feel a boost of energy because we love coaching, we love doing our job.
“There are new things that appear in football, in this profession, I think it affects the energy a lot. It is difficult to explain. It’s important to have good people around you, to know when to stop and when to go. I remember 10 or 15 years ago it was really weird to see a manager or coach spending more than 12 hours on the training ground. Today, it has become normal. We all arrive at 7 a.m. and we leave at 5 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. It’s not easy to deal with because it’s almost 24 hours, but when you go home after 12 hours on the training field, you’re on the phone with the owners, the athletic directors, all kinds of different people . It’s also hard to disconnect and that’s why it’s difficult sometimes.
“But football is our passion. And of course, Jurgen, after a few months away, or at home, will certainly begin to miss the adrenaline of competition, training sessions, communication with staff, players, people. I think when you’re involved in the game you miss another part of your game, but when you’re in another part you start to miss the part that was really important to you. »
