On May 28 (KST), The Athletic reported Pochettino emailed players who were cut from his 55-player preliminary list before announcing his final 26-man World Cup squad the next day, while sending video messages to the players who made the team. Critics said the method showed a lack of respect and consideration. Former U.S. striker and current ESPN analyst Herculez Gomez called it unacceptable that Pochettino didn\u2019t even call the players he cut. Gomez recalled that Jurgen Klinsmann informed him by voice message when he was left off the 2014 World Cup roster \u2014 a gesture he appreciated. Pochettino defended his decision, saying the emails were intended to spare players\u2019 feelings. \u201cWhen I was a player, I didn\u2019t want the coach to call me if I didn\u2019t make the squad,\u201d he said. \u201cPlayers who don\u2019t make the list don\u2019t want to hear me say \u2018I\u2019m sorry.\u2019 What am I supposed to say? Lie to them?\u201d He added, \u201cI genuinely care about the players. I haven\u2019t slept properly for the past two weeks. Even today I can\u2019t fully enjoy this moment with the 26 players because I still think about those who were cut.\u201d Reporter: Lee Jun-heum Audio: AI-dubbed reporter \u00b7 Producer: Lee Jin-gyun
