I FROZE AT NOU CAMP BUT HARRY WILL SHINE

HARRY KANE deserves great credit for continually putting himself out there. He is the type of lad who wants to play, no matter what. Unless he’s on crutches or can’t get his boot on, he’s in. I love that mentality.

Anyone who plays the amount of games he does is going to have physical dips. Harry has a big frame and for him to put in the amount of effort he does will impact in some way.

But what marks him out as different is his single-mindedness, which is so strong he produces goals whether he’s playing well or not.

The fact Spurs have a chance of qualifying against Barcelona having lost their first two group games is down to Harry’s two late goals at Wembley against PSV. Next summer England will be in the Nations League finals because Harry scored at the right time against Croatia.

It’s why Mauricio Pochettino will never take him off during a big game, even if he hasn’t touched the ball for 20 minutes.

That said, Spurs will need more than just Harry to get a result at the Nou Camp. Barcelona have already qualified but that may give them a freedom in their play, and you don’t want to face Lionel Messi playing with freedom unless you play as a team with great concentration and tactical awareness. Pochettino has to play Toby Alderweireld at the back after his surprising exclusion against Arsenal.

I froze on my first visit to the Nou Camp playing against Rivaldo and Pep Guardiola. The ball felt like a hot potato even though I kept my position on the pitch and we got a 0-0 draw.

These Spurs players are experienced enough not to be intimidated and that has to give them a chance.
