‘Arsenal: Harry Kane was too fat’
Tottenham are now gearing up for Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 first-leg match at Juventus.
Ahead of the game, Corriere della Sera have spoken to former Arsenal star Liam Brady about Spurs.
Brady has used the occasion to explain why Kane, who started his career at Arsenal, was allowed to leave:
Unfortunately yes. He was chubby and not very athletic, but we got it wrong. Even Tottenham loaned him out to the lower leagues three or four times though.
On previewing the Juve game, Brady bigged up Tottenham’s chances of going through:
Juve are not favourites, it’s 50-50.
Tottenham has well organised, they have a good Coach and three great forwards in [Christian] Eriksen, [Dele] Alli and [Harry] Kane. You need to stop them in midfield to prevent those three from hurting you.
Does Juve’s attack convince me? Not completely, because I think we’ve already seen the best of Higuain. It’s hard for him to make the difference in Europe, he’s too static.
