On Monday, Pochettino attended an event where he answered questions from children and gave advice to young players. He explained that while some young players perform well, they must remain humble to continue developing.

How do you feel about the many young players performing excellently in MLS this season, many of whom have expressed a desire to be selected for the US national team?

"We're very pleased to have so many talented young players with potential. They're young, they have potential, and they have the opportunity to play. We just have to be careful, don't we? We must be careful because when you're young, you naturally need confidence; you must believe in yourself and that you can perform well."

"But I think there's a limit, and balance is crucial. One of our responsibilities is to protect these young players, because sometimes when you're 16, 17, or 18 years old and performing well, people start talking about you and say you're Messi or a world star, just because you've done a few good things."

"But if you then lose yourself and can't handle these things properly, it could jeopardize your career, and that's exactly what we don't want to see. We don't want young players with the potential to become top players to experience that."

"We want to give them a platform to develop into professional players, to make the most of their careers, to improve every day, to remain humble, and to be mindful of what they say in the media, when they speak with teammates, and when they speak with opponents."

"I believe respect is the most important thing. They must learn to respect others. Of course, we want talented players, brave and confident players, but not players who haven't yet proven themselves or earned recognition."

"I think only Messi has the right to be somewhat arrogant. When you've won eight Ballon d'Ors, you can certainly be a bit proud, but you would never hear even Messi speak that way."

"But when you're still young and start boasting that you can play here, there, or in other positions, I don't think that's the right path for career development, which is why we must be careful."

"We're building very good relationships with all coaching staffs and managers in MLS, and I think it's very important not only to watch them or follow their games and performances, but also to pay attention to what they say in the media and how they interact with opponents and teammates."

"If we want to be a great team, build something special, and remain competitive, in my view we must be careful in all these aspects – including all the interviews young players give."

"With the players we're considering, we observe how they communicate with coaches, their behavior, whether they arrive early or late to training, their professionalism, and whether they care about our expectations."

"We have all the information. So it's very important to convey this message to them through the media, which is crucial not only for fans but also for players: we're watching everything."

"Respecting others and maintaining professionalism is essential. How you treat your teammates, how you treat your opponents. Even when you're young and successful, full of confidence, you must use your confidence and pride to score goals, work hard every day, improve daily, and become even better."
