game to Liverpool but Harry Kane has warned that
Tottenham will be more than a match.
Tottenham star Harry Kane expects a tough encounter in
Jurgen Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool - but has
warned that Spurs are ready to out-run them.
Klopp's renowned 'gegenpressing' style of football at Borussia
Dortmund drew admirers from across Europe and the 48-year-
old has already told fans to expect "full-throttle football" at
Anfield after his appointment as manager.
Kane, however, says Spurs have displayed their own impressive
pressing game under Mauricio Pochettino this season and has
backed them to match anything Klopp can inspire his side to
produce.
"In the first couple of games after a managerial appointment
everybody tries to impress so they will probably have that little
five per cent extra than usual," Kane said after England's 3-0
win over Lithuania. "We expect that. The Liverpool players at
England could not wait to get back to start working under him.
"But we have out-run every team we have played so far this
season and that's a sign we're playing the manager's tactics
right and are fit enough to do it. And that's what we have to do
again on Saturday. Obviously Liverpool, with a new manager,
will be up for it. But we know what we have to do."
Tottenham are just two points outside the top four after eight
matches and Kane believes they are benefiting from a lack of
pressure in the race for Europe.
"Nobody is really talking about us and the top four, and that's
probably a good thing," he added. "We haven't lost in the league
since the first game of the season. We've had a few draws
where we should have won as well, but we are playing well and
doing the right things.
"We have a fit, young squad and we are training hard. We are
happy to stay under the radar and keep putting in good
performances because it's very open this year. That's down to
the standard of the Premier League – anyone can beat anyone,
and that's been shown a lot this season.
"Personally, I just need to keep working hard and do my best for
Tottenham. That's all I can do. I'm doing the right things. I've
just got to keep going at it, keep working hard and the goals will
come."
