Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media in the aftermath of his side’s hard-fought victory against Crystal Palace yesterday, and raved about the quality of Harry Kane, highlighting his relentless approach to the game as one of his most important attributes, as quoted by Football.London.

Tottenham dominated the game against the Eagles from the very first whistle until the last, but they had to wait until the 88th minute before breaking the deadlock, and it was no surprise to see who notched the winner.

Kane has now scored 35 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions for the Lilywhites this season, and he has firmly established himself as one of the continent’s most prolific strikers in the process.

Pochettino discussed what makes the England international such an elite marksman, when speaking to reporters, highlighting his never-say-die attitude as something that has been pivotal to him reaching the very top level, as quoted by Football.London:

“All the top players like Harry can miss chances, but what makes this type of player top is that in the moment they miss a chance, they forget it and they try to create another. Think about the next. That is the most important thing if you want to be top like Harry is. In the moment that you finish the action you forget it and try to create another. You can call it, confidence, trust, belief in yourself, patience. They are what make this type of player top.”

Next up for Kane and co is their FA Cup replay at home to Rochdale on Wednesday night, before they welcome Huddersfield Town to Wembley on Saturday in the Premier League.
