Tottenham, Pochettino: "We must think only about winning. Higuain? One of the best like Kane. Astori? I met him, he was a great person"

Tomorrow is the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie between Tottenham and Juventus. The first match ended in a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, so Spurs have the advantage heading into the second match. Mauricio Pochettino spoke at his pre-match press conference: "Astori? I would like to give my condolences to his family and friends. I had the opportunity to meet him, to stay a few hours with him when I was at Southampton: I wanted to bring him there with me and he seemed like an exquisite person. We are devastated about the news. The first leg against Juventus? We analyzed the match, their first goal was offside, then we conceded a penalty and suffered because of their strength. We began to play better and in football you need luck: our first goal arrived before halftime, they missed a penalty and now we want to enjoy this moment. Higuain? He is one of the best in the world like Kane, obviously. Juventus is a great team, we will need to focus whether Higuain plays or not. We will play against one of the best teams in the world tomorrow and it will not be simple, but we love these matches. We are a courageous team, we want to have fun and we must only think about winning."
