Apoel Nicosia 0 Tottenham 3: Mauricio Pochettino claims Harry Kane is BETTER than Cristiano Ronaldo
Spurs superstar continued his lethal form in front of goal with a perfect hat-trick in Cyprus
MAURICIO POCHETTINO reckons Harry Kane is BETTER than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kane scored with his left foot, right foot and his head to sink the Cypriots. And Poch declared: “Cristiano Ronaldo is fantastic, one of the best.
“But Harry is one of the best and maybe better because he is younger.
All the strikers who are at this level have something special. They are killers. Harry has this special skill.”
Kane, 23, and Ronaldo, 32, go head-to-head at the Bernabeu next month in the third round of Group H games.
The Portuguese superstar has netted over 450 goals in his career and won 24 major trophies — including the Champions League four times and Euro 2016.
Kane has scored ELEVEN goals in seven matches this month after failing to find the net in August.
Last night’s hat-trick, his ninth for Spurs, means he now has 34 goals in 30 games this year.
Pochettino said: “It is September so I expect him to score. He has something special in front of the goal and that is why he’s one of the best.
“I don’t want to keep using the same words to describe him as my wife is so jealous and his wife, too. He’s unbelievable, he’s Harry Kane.”
Poch added of next month’s showdown in Madrid: “We will be very motivated to play the best team in the world.”
