“It’s a little bit strange but we need to accept the rules of the Premier League, that we need to go there and to play,” said Pochettino esports
“(In Argentina) we celebrate on the night of the 24th esports

More than the 25th because you’re asleep nearly all day esports
Here it’s different because you celebrate on the 25th with the family esports
“I need to see things in a different way esports
For sure our fans are not happy but we need to accept this new era in esports football esports
“(The Premier League) didn’t ask us esports
They wanted some meeting with me and all the coaches one week before the season esports
I said I’m more than happy to share time with you, but it’s esports better if you prepare the meeting before the end of the season to prepare the next season esports
“If they ask me I will give my opinion, but at the moment we are not involved in the decisions esports
”He added: “I don’t know what to do (with my wife) esports
I need to find some ideas to compensate esports
(Search esports online for) ‘unhappy wife’ esports
”The Wolves game is the first of three in seven days for Chelsea over the Christmas period, with Crystal Palace due at Stamford Bridge on the evening of December 27 before visiting Luton on December 30 esports
The Palace game has been moved from esports Boxing Day in order to accommodate the controversial Christmas Eve fixture esports
Pochettino reiterated that supporters’ concerns must be paramount in scheduling decisions esports
“We play and we work and all that we are doing is for our fans,” he said esports
“Without fans, esports football (is nothing) esports
We need to protect, and to care, and to look after our fans esports
“Of course I agree with them, that I am not happy if they are not happy esports
It’s common sense esports
I can understand esports
“I don’t know what is behind it esports
I don’t know why esports
No one explained esports
I cannot tell esports
I hope it’s one time and never again, but we’ll see what happens esports
“People love esports football in England and they are going to be there esports
Our fans are going to be there supporting the team esports
But I don’t know if it’s going to be a regular situation esports
”Asked whether the club would offer a new contract to Conor Gallagher – who has captained the side in the absence of injured pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell – Pochettino likened the situation to the balancing act he now faces on the home front esports
“It’s like how we were talking about my wife,” he said esports
“It’s about to match and to feel good being together esports
It’s like a marriage with the club esports
They both need to feel good, then you can drive at a good deal esports
“He is a player that is doing fantastic esports

The old story goes that when Kevin Barrett hung up his boots, the man they called ‘Smiley’ was asked what he was going to do next esports
“I’m going to go breed some All Blacks,” Smiley replied, returning to the family dairy farm and setting to work esports
By that stage, sons Beauden, Scott and Jordie had already been born, and how they’ve lived up to their father’s assertion esports
On Saturday night, they will become the first trio of brothers to appear in a Rugby World Cup final, all close to certain starters for the All Blacks ahead of a meeting with South Africa esports
There are many tales of successful sporting siblings, from the Williams sisters to the Kelce brothers; the Waughs or the Charltons esports
But for three brothers to be so integral to a potential World Cup win is special esports
Smart international rugby coaches build their side around a spine of players from a single club; Ian Foster has been able to build his All Blacks around a single family esports
Their rise to the top is a story of both nature and nurture esports
Smiley was a legend of Taranaki rugby, capped almost 200 times by the Bulls in the back five in the pack, while mother Robyn was a talented esports basketball and netball player esports
Growing up, the brothers would hone their skills on a patch of land in their sprawling backyard that they called the BCG – the Barrett Cricket Ground – with Smiley intent on making sure all of his sons had the skillset to play an all-court game esports
“As youngsters playing in back yard, we only dreamed of being here,” Beauden Barrett explained earlier in the tournament esports
“’Mum was a pretty talented athlete herself esports
They all say our speed came from Mum and I guess the size and work rate from Dad esports
Kevin ‘Smiley’ Barrett featured for province Taranaki nearly 200 times (Getty Images)“There was always work to be done esports
So we always saw Mum and Dad doing that, coming home cooking us dinner, getting us ready for school esports
So if you relate that to your rugby it’s about striving to be esports better, to be the best you can be esports
"By their teenage years, the trio could pass off both hands and kick with both feet, making them most of the space on the family dairy farm in Rahotu, an hour’s drive south of New Plymouth esports
Eldest brother Kane was pretty talented, too, just breaking through with the Blues when concussions brought a premature close to his career in 2014 esports
Beauden was first to break through, barely out of his teens when making a first Super Rugby appearance and only 21 when helping the All Blacks to a record win over Ireland on international debut esports
His role as the bench impact back was crucial to the 2015 World Cup win, while two World Rugby Men’s Player of the Year awards followed in 2016 and 2017 after stepping up to be Dan Carter’s fly half successor esports
Beauden Barrett has had a fine tournaemnt (Getty Images)Of late, he has embraced his reinvention as an almost full-time full-back at international level – he has been outstanding throughout this World Cup, described as the “glue” in New Zealand’s side by head coach Ian Foster esports
He may lack the acceleration of his youth but there are few smarter backfield brains at this tournament esports
An impending deal with Toyota Verblitz will see Beauden move to Japan for at least a season, with the 32-year-old weighing up whether to extend his stay or return to New Zealand to try to make a fourth World Cup esports
This could yet be his last All Blacks hurrah esports
To do it alongside his brothers will fill Beauden with immense pride esports
That either could have a claim to be the best player in the family will, too esports
Lock Scott has come on leaps and bounds since the last tournament, forcing apart long-time second row partners Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock after producing a series of unignorable performances esports
If his sending off in the final warm-up against the Springboks shows he still has the occasional rough edge, Scott has become one of New Zealand’s most consistent performers esports
Centre Jordie and lock Scott have come into their own at international level (Getty Images)Jordie Barrett is probably the most talented of the Barrett bunch, possessing a blend of Scott’s size and Beauden’s brilliance esports
After starting his professional career primarily at full-back, his development as a top-class international inside centre - or second five-eight, as the Kiwis call it – has solved a problem spot for the All Blacks esports
His ability to offer real carrying threat and add playmaking options as a second distributor makes him a vital figure on attack, while he has come on defensively, too esports
Jordie is leading New Zealand’s set-piece defence at this tournament, and made 17 tackles in a player of the match performance in the semi-final against Argentina esports
“He was massive in defence, he attempted the most tackles,” defence coach Scott McLeod said of Jordie’s performance esports
“But the most pleasing thing for me was he actually applied pressure esports
“He saw the pictures a lot earlier, he backed himself to go and do it and those around him supported that and he made quite a difference for us esports
"If New Zealand are to beat South Africa on Saturday, you somehow feel at least one of the three will be key esports
Beauden, of course, already has one World Cup winners’ medal, his late breakaway try putting the seal on back-to-back All Blacks’ triumphs in 2015 esports
Come Saturday night, the Barrett mantlepiece could be gilded again, three more medals a fitting decoration for a remarkable sporting family esports
