They both came through our Academy. They’re both all-action central midfielders. Coincidentally, as of this weekend, they’ve both played the exact same number of games for our first team – 70.

Once again pointing out how important training is to Pochettino:

Ryan: “We mentioned about us coming through the Academy. How did you find the transition from the youth team to the development team, then to the first team here? The gaffer is pretty intense, the training load is 100 per cent and, as everyone knows, you can’t play for him unless you’re 100 per cent fit and on it every day...”

Harry: “The first couple of years of me stepping into the first team were difficult. You know that more than anything as I was playing with you and you know what I was like. The intensity of the training was hard, it was intense. It takes a while to really get into that sort of mould, into a first team player from a youth team player. I suppose it challenges you as well with the way the manager likes to play and the way we like to play as a team. We press with intense play and, playing from the back, you have to have full fitness and be at your best every single time.”
