La Liga - Pochettino: I never doubted my men
Posted Tuesday, March 01, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino claims he never doubted his men after they ended their win drought at the weekend.
The Barcelona side hammered Real Sociedad 4-1 on Saturday to end a sequence of four consecutive defeats, leaving the Argentine feeling buoyant about his men's progress.
"After the victory, all of the criticisms have turned into compliments," he said.
"Everything seems better now, more rosy, but we knew we had to believe in what we were doing and that the results would come."
Pochettino added that he is confident that his team will soon make sure of staying in the top flight, and can then turn their attention to scrapping for one of the Europa League spots.
"It's important to break the 42-point barrier," he said.
"And if we win (against Real Mallorca on Tuesday), everyone's vision will be different - but we must avoid falling into the temptation of looking at the long term."
