Sissoko told Le Parisien: "Pochettino in a nutshell? Professionalism. What I like about him is that he can have a starting eleven, but he is going to respect all the players and everyone is going to feel involved in the job.

"He acted in the same way with (Hugo) Lloris the captain and with the youngster who had just joined the group. If you give it your all, you will have your chance, and you will progress. Even when I wasn't playing a lot, the collaboration was good.

"So yes, physically it's hard, because his method pumps a lot of energy. But I outdid myself to be part of the 11. I do not know if he will return or not one day to Tottenham, but I do not think that the players would be against his return."
