That’s why we lost the game," he said.Pochettino also said he has learned a lot about his players in the last seven days.

00:00 Maybe yes, because we feel really disappointed because I think we have faith in the win and
00:15 the possibility to win.
00:16 We were so close.
00:17 After 90 minutes I think we were better side and in the last 15-20 minutes I think we created
00:23 too many big chances to score and win the game and I think we deserve.
00:27 In the second half I think the team energy we dropped and I think we didn't keep the
00:37 energy after 90 minutes.
00:39 I think that is why we lost the game.
00:42 I think we met after the game also in a different place in Wembley and the players you start
00:50 to feel the good spirit.
00:56 In some point disappointed and painful but in another side to find the revenge to start
01:02 to play and then Monday and Tuesday they were very open and very committed to all the players
01:08 available to play.
01:09 They all wanted, even if some of them were really tired with some problems, they want
01:16 to be in the game of lead and that speaks very highly about our squad and our players.
01:23 More than we are learning from them is that they are learning.
01:29 To compete all together and see each other and feel each other and know how they behave
01:40 in this level when it's a final.
01:43 With not too much experience I think how they start to behave and they start to understand
01:47 each other.
01:48 That is the most important because I think after seven, eight months I think we have
01:51 a, I don't know how I say, already we know the profile of the player and how they can
02:02 behave but of course it's important in between them to know each other and know how they
02:08 are going to react in this level with high pressure and high stress like it was to deal
02:15 with a final.
