Erik ten Hag has hit back at Pochettino
Ajax were due to face De Graafschap on Sunday afternoon, while Spurs played West Ham on Saturday lunchtime, losing 1-0 and they will be without a host of key players for tonight, including Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane.
“The reality is they are going to have more time to prepare and avoid risk,” Pochettino said.

“It’s not a complaint. Only that it is not fair. I don’t want to create a polemic, only that playing a Champions League semi-final, both teams must have the same time to prepare.â€

“Is that not unfair on us? There are always differing circumstances.
