Dembele is a 'genius' like Okocha - Pochettino

Austin Jay Jay Okocha, might have retired from football but his name still echoes around the exciting world of the game and the latest person to mention the Nigerian in good light is former teammate, Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine is currently the manager of high flying premier league side, Tottenham Hotspur and just at the weekend he branded his player, Mousa Dembele a ‘genius’ just like Okocha.


Dembele was instrumental for Spurs yesterday as they defeated hard fighting Burnley 2-0 to cut Chelsea’s lead on top of the premier league log to seven after the Blues lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace.


“I always say, 'Mousa, when I write my book I will say you are one of the genius players I have been lucky to meet'.

“They are (Diego) Maradona, Ronaldinho, Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan de la Pena and Mousa Dembele. We've always told him that if we had taken him at 18 or 19-years-old, he would have become one of the best players in the world."

"We always told him that if we had taken him at 18 or 19 years old, he would have become one of the best players in the world. I would have loved to have taken him on at 18."

Pochettino was Okocha’s teammate at Paris Saint German (PSG) for two seasons.

Dembele is very skillful
But u have to understand that modern present day football is adverse to players with natural flair organically evolving into to unique style

Except something is done fast its gonna get worse

The game is getting more bland by the day

No thank to fast food microwave mentality
of business tycoon money bags aided by over tactical win at all cost coaches who are not purists

He's among the last dying breed which included players like Alexander Hleb, Rosicky, Tarabate etc

Dembele is not in those players class....

Dembele is not even better than Modric, Iniesta etc before we talk of A-class legends...

Dembele has that natural flair and skillfulness those players you mentioned don't have

He's just not cut out for present day modern football that focuses more on bench tactics than players individual natural talent and skill

forget xavi and iniesta.....ivan de la pena and guti haz are the greatest spanish midfielders of all time.

Mendietta also

But my favorite Spanish midfielder would always be Ruben Baraha of Valencia
Never seen a midfielder with such deft touch and clean smooth coordination

Okocha, Pochettinho, and Ronaldinho during their time at PSG


Pochettinho now Tottenham Hotspur manager
I remember when ronladinho was at PSG he was just good but never perfect with his skills then until the summer world cup where he wowed everyone and became really good and moulded himself into world class at Barcelona.. those days where world class players were plenty not now that even losers like lingard nakayoko smalling are even regulars in a team that world class

"baraja"
Yes
"albeda, senna.." they were ok

Baca didn't treat De LA pena well cause they were star studded
He had no choice but to leave
He and Raul were the emerging Spanish young stars then
Carzola reminds me of him alot

Spanish players are more technique based the skill/flair based so non stood a chance to win World best in an era were skill/flair oozed out in abundance effortlessly from South American, African, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and eastern European star players
