Spurs boss reveals plans for tunnel in new stadium for when Man City visit | OneFootball

Mauricio Pochettino joked about the plans for the tunnel in Tottenham’s new stadium for when Manchester City visit.

Following the Milkgate drama that went down in the tunnel at Old Trafford after the Manchester Derby, Spurs boss has jokingly revealed that he plans to ‘black-out’ the tunnel in their new stadium when Pep Guardiola’s side visit.

Pochettino believes that covering the see-through tunnel in Spurs’ new home ground is a great idea considering the fracas that went down at Old Trafford on Sunday.

“The tunnel is with glass, big glass like the bank. Very safe,” Pochettino explained.

“But now yes, City and Tottenham, maybe (have to) paint it black. Or at halftime, curtains – before the game, open, half-time, close.

“Or if not you must pay double if you want to open them.”

The Argentine added: “In France too they were tough, playing against Ajaccio at halftime I remember a massive fight in the tunnel.

“You [the media] didn’t see it but there was fighting between us. It was terrible. Sometimes it happens.

“It was tough. After you are scared a little bit because it was like we were animals fighting and you do not know what happened. I don’t know if it was similar.

“You can talk when you’re calm and relaxed, but when something happens on the pitch and you are under stress and emotion sometimes you cannot stop and it can happen.”
