Football is finally back. It seems like an age since Spurs played their final game of last season in the Champions League final against Liverpool. But football is back underway in the form of the International Champions Cup.
Tottenham began their 2019/20 campaign with a victory over Juventus in an entertaining contest last Sunday night. The match was played in a relatively high tempo considering it was only a friendly.
Juventus lined up with a very strong team from the outset. It included likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo Bonucci, and Miralem Pjanic to name a few. Tottenham on the other hand fielded a very youthful starting eleven that featured highly-rated 17-year-old Troy Parrott up front as striker along with Anthony Georgiou, Oliver Skipp, and more.
Out of all the youngsters that played on Sunday evening, we list five (unranked) that impressed.
Anthony Georgiou
The Cyprus international who normally plays as a winger was deployed as a left-back during the match. He settled into his role without problem, proving that he can be a versatile player in any system that Pochettino decides to run with.
He provided good pace along the flanks when pushing forward and was able to track back defensively when required. At one point, he blocked an incoming cross into the box and forced a corner – saving a potential goal-scoring opportunity.
