If only all the prematch video content could be this good. BT Sport have absolutely nailed their build up technique here and fans get the right amount of sound bites from the pressers, mixed with plenty of “life on the road” type camerawork to keep the energy levels where they ought to be.
Beyond the whole “no striker” business, this game will be somewhat billed as Mourinho vs Nagelsmann bout, not because the coaches are particularly comparable, Julian Nagelsmann is another Pochettino – he;s won nothing. Rather, tonight we see a depleted Tottenham side taking on a Leipzig team that would probably get short shrift from a full strength Spurs.
Indeed, the bookies have Spurs at @7/4, and RBL at @6/4!
