What’s been said?

USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino: “I think now is the moment that they need to build a way to know to prepare in an emotional and mental way, and I think everyone knows how to be ready,” he said.

“I think now they don’t need an external motivation or inspirational speech. If you know the player and the mindset of the player, they need [that] before to get their best.

“They need motivational speech … when they need to go to train and improve in every single area because then tomorrow is [too] late. If they are not ready, I can be the best in the way to motivate players with my speech. But if you aren’t ready, sorry guys, it’s impossible to perform.”
