267 goals for Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane is now
the leading goal scorer of all time, of that, great football
club and he did it against Manchester City. Danny,
we're going to break down the goal where it happened against
them with the cane goal in this match. And it was
a fascinating, kind of goal because it's a little different
to Spurs where we normally see them. Defend pretty deep. Yeah,
they had a little bit of a go here in a high position and
we'll
get more. Break this down in a second, but that was almost
a starting position down for this goal. But before that, let's
talk about what man city trying to do here. Yeah, it's
incredible. I think, first and foremost,
I couldn't believe how Brave Spurs were
they were on the front thought they weren't worried about
anybody playing any balls in behind. And I think a prime
example of this is there's Eric diet
part of your back three there.
And if you look a little bit further back from Tottenham
side of things, it's four versus four. It's as though
they went to a back for ya because when they were
attacking
and that for me is,
Huge now, ordinarily as a manager, you're saying
shouldn't receive before. It would be seen as risky, but
I think From tottenham's perspective, they've looked at
this game and gone. There is no way that Manchester City,
you're going to go back to front quickly. They're going to
continue to try and play through as that means that we
can be nice and solid without any fear
of losing the ball without any fear of those being caught out.
And I think obviously now you're going on to the goal as
well. And yeah this is 130.
I mean I've never it's very unusual. Why you see
that amount of space between I mean
Basically, it looks like it's two games going on. Yeah,
there's a game here going on and there's a game here going
on, which is, which is very unusual. It is
but also what I would say is that obviously this leads to
the goal and it was something that Tottenham continuously did
because they were comfortable in saying, right? What we're
going to do, we're going to press with a six and we're
going to sit with a for even if it's four against four because
at no
time did Manchester City
look like they were going to go. We've got Holland.
Let's try and play to your strengths a little bit more.
Let's try and play down the side. Let's try and play over
the top because there are enough every play
Is on the halfway line. So what so what you're saying is we're
going to see right now. Is I run it? Yes, it's City will
again, try and play out. No try and play through. Exactly.
And this is good. To be fair from swarthy. Sure. The arrows
before Spurs are absolutely ready and this is the key
moment here. Danny now, if he,
if it's, I think it's a
parasitic. Yes. If he doesn't go in which we sometimes see by
the way, then that's a problem.
But of course, what happens is. He does go in as we see here,
he reads it is on the front foot. He's forcing the game
back again. Which again
takes us simply to where we were before, Danny with
this game here and this game here, but suppose want it up
there to try and win the ball back.
Like you said there was, it was it was just going to run
through here. The Midfield players are super high.
Eric Diaries in a very, very highways dire. See dire
is right in here
there before the goal is, that's really, really high for
him.
But the Midfield players do a great job in and around the box
is high but they're there. The second bolt that comes in here.
Wins the ball back in Hurricane, sticks and buckler,
net. So successful. Yes, sums of how they did it and I think
the biggest thing is Robbie its Collective, it's not
individual, because if you go
an individual to press Manchester City, they will play
through you. But the collective side of things. And I think
the biggest example of that is yes, you've got day of there, but
you have been tanker. Yeah. And how about how? They're right on
the edge of the 18-yard Box we can just. Yeah. And again,
they're the ones really
want to do that and you're seeing it there on the ball.
Yeah. And as your second Midfield players and then this
little ball is a good one. One,
but the movement from Hurricane is what we want to take a look
at and second kind of. This little guy did I do love it
because I
remember getting coached about it now. It's not, not as
a strike, I was never a striker but it's a Midfield player and
you always talk to try and
always have your eyes on the ball and sometimes naturally,
you want to make a different movement. You take her eyes off
the ball and explain it here so K. And this is the lead up
here. So the Press is going on right now so he's just sent
him. What's going on around him,
look at his head, he's always thinking about what's got
happening. Now, this is where it happens here now,
So now he sees right that right, we're going to win
the ball here,
it's there. So there he is looking
where some space. It's right there. Now, the natural thing
to do here. I'm telling you for it for any human is to use
that. Right? Foot is his strong side
to run. Took to turn that way. So he would in effect turn his
back to the ball but he's but he's learned. He's been
coached. That that's not ideal. That's not Optimum
if he can stay connected with the football.
He's going to turn around. Look at the board and second and
never take his eyes off. It just watch how he flips his
body around. So look at that. So he's facing it is still
turning to face the goal which is the whole point of getting
a shot way first time,
which is sticks it back and that but that little
I mean, it's a little detail. Look, it just watch how we that
it was his chest up to face the ball, face a ball and still
faces the way goes to score, the goal there, and that was
the historic goal in there
very well because I think the biggest thing there when you
talk about Movement that enabled hurricane to take
the shot first time, he didn't have to worry about taking in such
a new was around him. And is that natural or cannot be taught?
I think a bit of both, I mean, he's obviously an incredible
footballer, a world-class Striker. Now, he's a record
whole score, a goal scorer, and a photographer Hotspur are
insurers next in his sights. But as ever remembered
to take a look at our NBC Sports YouTube channel, lots of
shows on Inside the Mind, Of course, or a backer.
We always do the Premier League update to Robbie's podcast as
