After a work stoppage yesterday we go further with memorable storys.
***
Last fall was Tottenham in a vacuum. They came from a messy season with a change of trainer, they had a new coach in place and a squad without any intensity.
The steps a savior.
Until the beginning of October, the Harry Kane played a total of 43 minutes in the Premier League, spread out over five appearances. Harry Kane was far from ordinary.
In Tottenham’s one-man assault were the stars as Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor. Harry Kane’s last fotbollsår consisted of lending. First to Leyton Orient, then Millwall, then Norwich and then Leicester.
At the sporadic occasions he had the chance of Tottenham, he had not shown much talked that he would develop into a top player. But instead of despair, he had fought in. Coaches who overbased over Kane in the loan clubs testifies his extremely professional attitude.
Last fall, he received only play meaningless games in the Europa League, but every time he got the chance, he showed that he was a player on the rise.
After seven goals in five games in the Europa League, including a hat-trick against Asteras Tripolis, he knocked on the door considerably.
On 2 November, Tottenham play against Aston Villa away from home. Harry Kane was hot as a stove. A few days earlier he had scored in the League Cup. A half-hour appearances at Villa Park was enough for him to decide the match. In the 90th minute he put the 2-1 for Tottenham and it was a bit of a reference point. From that day, he had proven that he could perform and score goals even in the Premier League.
From that day had Harry Kane took over the starting spot in Tottenham’s attack at the expense of Soldado and Adebayor. Kane was young, promising and exciting. But for the Spurs, he was so much more. He was the player who passed through their ranks all the way to the first team. He was the player who grew up as Tottenhamfan (at least from adolescence and up?) And whose genealogy Support was team.
– I grew up 15 minutes from the stadium so it was obvious what I should hold on. It’s nice to have that connection. I never had any posters on the walls but I gathered to collect images. Teddy Sheringham was my idol, he has said.
In today’s cosmopolitan football industry where boundaries have become blurred, this
Tottenham, which until then appeared as a clue identity dissolved, had suddenly got the farm a player who could become something bigger than just an important player. Harry Kane, the tall, respectable ninth grade, could become a symbol of something new.
He was there. It went fast.
From November onwards was Harry Kane in Cannon kind. In December, he scored four games in a row. But it was not just the goals that impressed. Harry Kane took a tremendous job in presenting the game and set the bar for the rest of the team.
He appeared as a spokesman, a rookie who was already a culture bearer.
On New Year’s Day would take Tottenham against Chelsea at White Hart Lane. I myself was in the United States and set the clock to the early morning hours to see the game from the hotel bed.
Harry Kane was the plan’s king and razed José Mourinho otherwise so reliable defensive. Tottenham won 5-3 in a football extravaganza that will seldom be forgotten in this part of London.
From that day there was no doubt that Harry Kane was the crowd favorite in Tottenham.
Spring Harry Kane continued to impress. In March he made his debut in the English national team and scored against Lithuania.
Meanwhile, as his successes, there was a debate: Is he a one-hit wonder, or he is ‘the real deal’? There are people who claim both the one and the other, but it is clear that Tottenham Harry Kane received a symbolic player that they long lacked.
During the spring it has been rumored interest from bigger clubs if the price tags of around SEK 500 million . There is a lot of money, but Harry Kane value for Tottenham can not be measured only in dollars and cents. How do you put a price on the club feel and identity?
Season was not what Tottenham had hoped. For a time they challenged for fourth place, but pretty soon it was clear that they would fall short again.
But season 2014/15 will Spurs Circuits remembered as the year when Harry Kane, “One of Their Own”, step forward.
