You know the drill by now, friends, Pierre Hojbjerg plays for Tottenham, and then I look for new words to describe how thoroughly excellent the man is.
I think what delights me most is that we know for a fact from what Mourinho told us, that the Dane is obsessed with the process of football. What please me almost as much as Pierre now being a Tottenham man, is that he’s as tough as he is technically adept. What isn’t to love?
In control
Recovery King
Long passing
Offensive duel
A proper ‘throwback’ type of footballer. In terms of our history, a modern day Stevie Perryman. A tough, physical, player who gets stuck in, is a leader, reads the game well and can play a bit too.
Like that.
He is better than Winks at being Winks.
