Published on December 18, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur have built up a head of steam since Jose Mourinho took over, but face a massive challenge on Sunday as they take on Chelsea with a place in the top four at stake.
Striker Harry Kane says the team has momentum, but acknowledges that next weekend's match against Chelsea will be a big test.
Since Mourinho took over from Mauricio Pochettino last month, Tottenham have won four out of five league matches, lifting them to fifth place, just three points behind Chelsea.
‘We have the momentum at the moment. But next weekend is the big one,’ Kane told British media.
With fixtures against Brighton & Hove Albion, Norwich City, and Southampton in the coming weeks, Kane believes that if they can win and push into the top four, they have a good chance of success.
Having just edged past Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 on Sunday with a winner in added time, Kane hailed Mourinho’s impact and said the team cannot take their foot off the pedal.
‘We’ve been feeling good… we’ve scored goals in every game we’ve played with the new manager in charge so if we can get it right, grind out results like at Wolves throughout the season we’ll be OK,’ the England captain added.
