Tottenham Hotspur will be preparing for their Champions League semi-final showdown against Ajax on Tuesday.
Ledley King has claimed that Tottenham duo Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura would be a ‘nightmare’ to play against from a defenders perspective.
Both players were in action on Saturday afternoon as Spurs suffered a damaging 1-0 defeat to West Ham United at their new stadium.
Speaking to Sky Sports Premier League (27/04/2019 at 12:50 pm), King explained why the attacking duo would be so difficult to play against.
“It’s great that you’ve got Sonny and Lucas [Moura],” King told Sky Sports PL. “They are both lively. When someone like Dele picks up the ball there is movement ahead of him and he’s able to play them passes.
“I think that’s what these two guys bring. The energy. They seem to actually enjoy playing together. And for a defender, it’s a nightmare when you have players that are buzzing around like these two are.”
It was a day to forget for Mauricio Pochettino’s side because they suffered their first defeat at their new stadium and that to their London rivals.
Previously, Spurs had won all their games at their new stadium and they hadn’t even conceded a goal. But Michail Antonio was the first man to write his name into the history books.
Tottenham can’t dwell on their defeat to the Hammers for too long because on Tuesday night they welcome Dutch giants Ajax to North London.
It will be the first-leg of their Champions League semi-final showdown with the winner playing either Barcelona or Liverpool in the final.
