“It’s too simple. It’s like the first goal at St James’ Park. There are three Spurs players, someone has to stop the shot. Make a block. Romero is too busy trying to make sure his hands are behind his back,” he said in talk sport.
“Just get close to him! Get tighter! It’s wonderful from Sancho, but it’s a basic defense”.
