http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 reveals admiration for Tottenham Hotspur’s style of play
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted that he is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s football style.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international claims that he loves watching Spurs play, saying that he prefers watching Harry Redknapp’s side over the Spanish giants Barcelona.
Rooney said, “Barcelona are playing some great football but I am enjoying watching Tottenham at the minute. It is their first year in the Champions League, so they are something new and they have done so well.”
He added, “I am happy we play on a different day to them because I love watching their matches.”
Tottenham’s rise up the ranks in recent seasons has been nothing short of astounding. Under the guidance of manager Harry Redknapp, the club has transformed itself from Premier League strugglers into one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Redknapp has shaped
Spurs into an attacking side, capable of wreaking havoc on even the sturdiest of defences.
Spurs are currently competing in the Champions League, going head to head with the biggest names in the continent. And so far, they have shown that they are more than capable of holding their own in Europe’s most elite club competition.
The club made its debut in the Champions League in the ongoing 2010-11 season, but few would be able to guess as much. Tottenham have been performing like seasoned veterans, showing no signs of fear against the biggest clubs in Europe. Spurs recently booked
their place in the quarterfinals of the tournament thanks to a 1-0 win on aggregate over Serie A leaders AC Milan. It is a remarkable position for a club so used to battling against relegation in the domestic league.
Manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that he does not care which team his side faces in the quarterfinals. It is a sign of immense confidence from a coach who has the utmost belief in his players’ abilities.
Along with their remarkable run in the Champions League, Tottenham are also in fifth place in the Premier League standings. The club is on course for a top four finish once again in the season, something that their Champions League victims will be hoping
does not happen.
