Three reasons Tottenham’s match against Blues will be different
By Gary Pearson
1. The Leicester lift
By now everyone knows about Tottenham’s miraculous comeback win over Leicester on Wednesday. Now we get to see what type of lift the emotional high of such an improbable victory will provide. It was a 79-second span that brought an entire club closer together.
Steven Bergwijn was on the chopping block, ready to say his farewells before scoring two goals in 79 seconds. Now he’s a Tottenham player, most likely for the foreseeable future. That kind of intense, evocative collective experience can have a resounding impact on strengthening cohesion.
The Miracle in the Midlands hopefully created an unbreakable bond that will spearhead Spurs to eminent heights.
Let’s hope some of the passion that poured onto the pitch at King Power Stadium returns on Sunday when Spurs go to war again, looking to defy the odds once more and upend one of their most bitter enemies.
