However, he hopes the the eight-year anniversary of the Battle of the Bridge that saw Chelsea beat Spurs in the Premier League will revitalize the crowd.
When I walk every day with my dog in different places of London, I feel I won't say 'love' but the appreciation from the fans," Pochettino said of Chelsea.
On social media, it can be, 'Hey, you must do this, do that,' but here, it is the opposite.
When I am on the street, the people are really good. They appreciate and give us credit for working in a project and process that is so difficult, because the people who understand football know what is going on here.
The fans sometimes get the image that is not real, that is fake. Maybe sometimes my words are taken or a photograph is taken of me looking sad, but I am not a sad person.
I laugh. I smile. I am very positive. I am not acting. Sometimes people get the wrong idea. If you face me on the street, for sure you will become in love. Especially if I have my dog."
