Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has told his side that they must produce their very best performance to beat Chelsea in Sunday’s League Cup final.
Spurs crushed the Blues earlier this season when Harry Kane (2), Danny Rose, Andros Townsend and Nacer Chadli scored in a 5-2 victory.
It was a first win all competitions for Spurs since 2010 and Pochettino belives that they must produce a similar, if not better performance to win the League Cup on Sunday.
“You saw the game; our performance was nearly perfect,” the Argentine told reporters on Friday.
“I think that we had a really good performance. We need to repeat the same performance to win the trophy.”
The 42-year-old who swapped Southampton for White Hart Lane last summer, then discussed how motivation was the biggest key in approaching the final at Wembley.
“I think that the motivation is full and you don’t need to prepare for the final. It’s only small details, tactically, because it’s Chelsea. We know Chelsea, Chelsea know us,” Pochettino continued, “and after, it’s about our performance and our motivation.”
He continued: “We’re looking forward to play. I think that our motivation is full and I think, not only for me but for a lot of the players, it’s a first final in their careers. So I think the motivation is full.”
