Harry Kane praises Hugo Lloris for Champions League turnaround
Harry Kane has revealed that the words of captain Hugo Lloris and coaches Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason helped Tottenham Hotspur turn around their Champions League fate in dramatic style at Marseille.
Spurs were facing a disappointing Champions League exit at half-time in France after Chancel Mbemba put the hosts ahead on the stroke of half-time.
"Great desire in the second half, great mentality. It's kind of been the story of our season so far, we've been more of a second half team," admitted Kane. "There were a few words said by a few people at half-time, that we had to be more aggressive, have more intensity and I think we came out in the second half and did that.
"We got the goal at a good time and after that we had a few chances to put the game to bed. They had a couple as well but to see that go in at the end there was icing on the cake, and a really important goal to finish top.
"We knew it was one goal and we could still qualify and we're a team that always feels like we're going to get chances, especially in the second half of games when teams get tired. That's what happened but full credit to the boys and staff. It wasn't easy not having the manager there but he was a big part of preparing the whole week. It was just a really important win and a great win for the club."
