<\/p>\nPochettino said this following his side\u2019s 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League fixture played on Wednesday night at Wembley.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have big respect for Barcelona, one of the best teams in Europe,\u201d ESPN quoted Pochettino as saying after Spurs defeated Inter.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, they have unbelievable players and it\u2019ll be so tough \u2014 but one thing we have is our belief and faith we can win. We only need to show again a good level to compete at our best.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo arrive at Barcelona and compete in our best we need to have fresh legs, fresh minds, no injuries. To arrive in that way in Barcelona we need to manage and we need to rotate the squad. If not, the demands of the Premier League are so tough.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re playing in the Champions League and the [Carabao] Cup against Arsenal at the Emirates. Playing games every three days is so tough \u2014 so tough for us, and for our players it\u2019s so, so difficult. They\u2019re not going to have one day off until January.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pochettino added: \u201cI don\u2019t know [what they\u2019ll do]. I expect they\u2019ll play with the best players but today I don\u2019t know how they\u2019ll prepare the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Barcelona do is not in our hands. But of course in the Champions League, no-one is going to give you a present and not care about the result.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be very competitive but of course they\u2019re qualified in first with 13 points. Us and Inter can only arrive with 10 points. All is possible in football. But now we need to focus on Arsenal on Sunday \u2014 another massive game for us.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
