Mauricio Pochettino says he loves "the risk" and wants "to feel again the adrenaline" as he embraced the pressure of wanting to win immediately with Chelsea on his presentation at the club. The Argentine insisted there can be "no excuses" about youth, imploring a young squad to be ready to compete immediately.
Pochettino nevertheless refused to discuss whether Tottenham had made a summer approach or whether he wants to sign Harry Kane, partly out of respect for his former club as well as an insistence on looking to the "future". The new Chelsea manager argued he is now "by far" a better manager than when he left the Premier League in 2019 due to his experiences with Paris Saint-Germain.
