“The image [of the challenge] was a little bit tough, but we need to assess tomorrow”.
“This is the story of the season and that’s why we need all the players committed to the club”.
Tottenham are in the process of negotiating new contracts for a number of first team players.
“When we sign a player and build a strong squad, it’s for that”.
“The most important thing is how you react, and we showed a good reaction”. I can only explain what the doctors said to me.
The winger opted to play at the Olympics this summer rather than undergo a full pre-season with Spurs, and was nearly sold in the transfer window, just one year after joining the club.
“You know [what the manager said] is only the truth”.
A two-month absence would see Kane miss a string of big Premier League games, including clashes against Manchester City, Leicester City and Arsenal, while the match away at Chelsea on 26 November would also probably be in doubt.
“We made a very good performance”.
“Personally I can’t think of anywhere better, with the fans, the manager we’ve got here and the young team”.
Son Heung-min proved to be one of Tottenham’s most instrumental players throughout the 90 minutes and the South Korean was unlucky not to top his performance with a goal when his shot from outside the box just clipped the post.
Pochettino had been critical of his side’s energy levels in their defeat to Monaco last week but the Argentinian was satisfied, even if it took a hashed clearance from Papy Djilobodji for Kane to break the deadlock.

“I prefer that you talk a bit more about his performance because it’s not easy – every game he has to make more than five saves and mentally you can get exhausted – but today he was awesome”. He did got get much help from Jan Vertonghen at full back, so he had to do it all by himself.
