Tottenham HotspurMauricio Pochettino and Michel Vorm have declared our USA Tour a huge success.
Manager Mauricio and goalkeeper Michel, captain for two of our three International Champions Cup (ICC) matches, immediately praised our Stateside fans, who once again turned up in huge numbers in San Diego, Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
As well as remaining unbeaten after 90 minutes against AS Roma (4-1), Barcelona (2-2, lost on penalties) and AC Milan (1-0), this Tour will be remembered for the performances of our younger players and, as always, our activities away from the action both with US supporters, our Global Football Development team and hooking up with the First Star project for foster kids in LA.
Mauricio said: “First of all, I am so happy because it was a great experience for everyone to spend time together on this Tour.
“I want to say a big thank-you to our fans. They were fantastic in San Diego, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. I think they are always amazing and they showed one more time that they support the team and love Tottenham.
“They support us in every tour in America and that is why I want to say thank you very much for their support. They make us feel at home.”
Michel added: “The Tour has been very positive. We didn’t lose in 90 minutes in three games against Roma, Barcelona and Milan, that has to be a huge compliment for everyone.
“And the fans... we get an incredible reaction out here. You come to Minneapolis and you are thinking ‘where do all these fans come from?’
“It’s unbelievable. All combined I think it was an amazing trip in every way. Okay, results are less important, but we’ve got the results as well!”
