Mauricio Pochettino shows commitment to PSG

During the press conference, he addressed the rumors around his transfer, while reiterating that he is completely focused on PSG right now.

“I’m not going to make the mistake to talk. Everything we will say in a way, in the past when I was at Espanyol and my dream was to meet Ferguson, all that, I can tell now it’s going to be misunderstood and out of context,” he added.
