Tottenham defender, Danny Rose insists the relationship between him and Mauricio Pochettino is a great one, despite his recent criticism of the club.

The England international fullback hit out at the club’s transfer policy, wages and ambition and he lobbied for a pay rise after he was linked with a host of clubs.

Rose returned to action against Real Madrid and played his first league game against Crystal Palace.

“For my part, it is forgotten,” Rose said. “I think it is forgotten on the club’s part as well.

“There is no point dwelling in the past if we want to take the club forward and go that one stage further and win the league and go as far as possible in the Champions League.

“Me and the gaffer are fine, we speak most days. The last three years, the lads will tell you I am the one in his office the most, speaking to him and going through videos and sharing text messages, even going round his house.

“Me and the manager are fine. He has been great at integrating me back into the team and getting me some minutes.

“I thought him putting me on against Real Madrid, even though it was only for 10 minutes, was a class act on his part, making me feel part of it again, even though he didn’t need to bring me on.

“As far as I’m concerned me and the gaffer are great and as long as we’ve both got the same goals, which is to win a trophy for Tottenham, then there’s nothing to worry about.”
