Pochettino said: “Sometimes he’s upset because sometimes he wants to do finishing on the afternoon and we say ‘no, it’s not the moment, tomorrow’.
“He says, ‘no, but I want to today in the afternoon. I want to do double session’. I say, ‘Harry, no. Harry, no.’ He says, ‘Oh gaffer, come on, I feel good, I am not tired.’ I say, ‘No, but it’s not good for you.’
“Then it was, ‘okay, at the end, maybe half an hour finishing’ – even though we needed to call two or three keepers from the academy. That shows his determination and character.”
And so it came to pass that the riddle of the knackered looking striker was solved.
All across the land did the good people discover that the plonker was more determined than was good for him.
Mate, have a curlywurly and save it for the actual game.
