Pep Guardiola told Mauricio Pochettino that he's making a mistake by calling the Man City boss disrespectful.

Spurs gaffer Pochettino thought Pep's remarks about Tottenham being a 'Harry Kane team' riled the Argentine, who hit out at City chief Pep.

“If he believes this, maybe I should say ‘Pochettino’s team’ when I said ‘Harry Kane’s team’,” Guardiola said in response. “But I said it because he (Kane) scored two goals more against Huddersfield and a goal for the national team and another goal for the national team. But I think Mauricio has made a mistake.”

BACK STORY

“I don’t know why he said it,” Pochettino had said.

 

“Why he showed too much respect to Manchester United because in the same way he could have said ‘Lukaku team’. But in the same sentence he said Manchester United, Mourinho, and then he said it was the Harry Kane team. It was very disrespectful to the club.”
