When Pep Guardiola referred to Tottenham Hotspur as “the Harry Kane” team, there were people at the London club who did not know whether to laugh or cry. The Manchester City http://www.officialedmontonoilers.com/Adidas-Leon-Draisaitl-Jersey manager, after all, had been in charge of the Lionel Messi team at Barcelona.
Behind the scenes http://www.officialwarriorsshop.com/authentic-15-damian-jones-jersey.html at Tottenham, amid the pot-and-kettle bitching, came a recollection from last season. Had they Morgan Moses Womens Jersey not beaten Guardiola’s City convincingly at White Hart Lane without the injured Kane?
Mauricio Pochettino almost always keeps his thoughts on this type of thing out of the public domain. Not this time. Last Friday the Spurs manager gave Guardiola both barrels, describing his comments as “disrespectful, sad and unnecessary” and making the point that his rival “struggles to be a gentleman” when on a winning roll. In other words, Guardiola can look down on Morgan Moses Womens Jersey others when he is riding high – as he and City are, at present.
Pochettino said he had never called Guardiola’s Barcelona “the Messi team” but, privately, he http://www.authenticlakersstore.com/authentic-44-jerry-west-jersey.html is under no illusions as to who was the orchestrator of their success. Barcelona have continued to win the http://www.broncosnflofficialonline.com/Todd-Davis-Jersey major trophies with Messi and without Guardiola.
Yet, whichever way Tottenham dress it up, they are now at a juncture where the talismanic Kane has threatened to transcend them. Back when Michael Jordan was ruling the NBA, his Chicago Bulls team-mates were often referred to as his supporting cast, which felt a little harsh on the likes of Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant. Tottenham have Dele Alli (as the fans never tire of singing) and Christian Eriksen, among others, and Pochettino will promote the team ethic until his dying breath.
Right now, however, it is Kane’s Tottenham, just as it was Jordan’s Bulls or it is Messi’s Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid. The labels are the consequence of outstanding individual performance and they chime with these hype-driven times even if – from his side of the fence – Guardiola probably ought to have known better than to promote them.
From the moment that the final whistle blew on Apoel Morgan Moses Womens Jersey Nicosia 0 Kane 3 in the previous round of Champions League fixtures, it was obvious what would follow. Tottenham’s visit to the Bernabéu to face Real, which looms on Tuesday night, would be Kane versus Ronaldo.
The are plenty of other plot lines. It will be a sight for sore Tottenham eyes, for example, to see Luka Modric in a Real shirt, the midfielder having swapped clubs in 2012. Tottenham were, at least, able to secure a partnership agreement with Real at the time, although the most obvious product of that appeared to be Gareth Bale’s move from White Hart Lane to the Bernabéu in 2013. Bale is a major doubt because of a calf injury.
For Kane, however, the opportunity to share the Bernabéu stage with Ronaldo will allow him to gauge his progress because everyone knows that the Portuguese is the benchmark – along with Messi. Moreover, Kane has made no secret of his ambition to rival the Big Two Morgan Moses Womens Jersey at the pinnacle of the game.
Pochettino sees certain similarities between Kane and Ronaldo, specifically in terms of their mentality. Pochettino has described Kane as “the best player in the world in terms of mental strength, willpower and endeavour”. Like Ronaldo, he is driven to better himself; to link his seasons; to use the previous one as the basis to improve the next.
