Mauricio Pochettino: FA Cup win ‘won’t change our life’
Read Time:1 Minute, 20 Second
Tottenham do not “need” to win the FA Cup and it would not move them “to a different level”, says manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs face Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley at 17:15 BST on Saturday.
Pochettino said it would be “fantastic” to win a trophy, but that only Premier League or Champions League success would be regarded as taking a step up.
“Is it going to change our life? I don’t believe,” said the Argentine.
“It would be fantastic to finish the season with a trophy. I don’t think it’s about need or not need.”
Tottenham have not won the FA Cup since beating Nottingham Forest in the 1991 final, while the club’s last top-flight title came in 1961.
“If we are capable to win the Premier League and the Champions League it is a moment you say the team has improved and reached the next level,” added Pochettino.
“Until that, win the FA Cup or the League Cup – it will be fantastic for our fans but is not going to move the club to a different level.
“I want to play to win the Premier League and Champions League – it is my vision. I want to play to win the Premier League. I want to win the Champions League.
“If you are going to change the vision or put the club in a different level you must compete to win the Premier League and then to compete and then win the Champions League.”
