[OSEN=강필주 기자] ‘Tottenham legend’ Gary Mabot (62) insisted that the team would not collapse because of the transfer of Harry Kane (30, Bayern Munich).
In an interview with the British Daily Mail on the 27th (Korean time), Mabot emphasized that although Kane is Tottenham, who moved to Bayern Munich, a new player will appear every time, as in the past.
Maebot is a legend who played 611 games in 16 years for Tottenham from 1982 to 1998. He has worn the Tottenham captain’s armband for 11 years and has been a Tottenham ambassador since 2012. It is also a byword for adversity that made his dream of becoming a soccer player amidst the difficulties of having to take insulin for the rest of his life due to his diabetes. In other words, Son Heung-min (31) is succeeding Mabot’s claim line.
In particular, Mabot won the European Football Federation (UEFA) Cup in 1984 with Chris Houghton and Glenn Hoddle, and in 1991 led to the FA Cup as captain. He played alongside English legends such as Paul Gascoyne and Gary Lineker.
“The game (soccer) continues to be messy as superstars leave their clubs and other players come in,” Mabot said. “It’s very rare for a club to fall apart because one player leaves. , handle what’s at hand as new players come in.”
“I joined as a trainee at Bristol Rovers in 1977 and immediately realized that outside noise was irrelevant,” he said. “I roomed with Lineker in 1992. I knew he was leaving. “I knew I had an offer. The club needed money for Gascoigne. But life went on.”
“There has been a big change since Angie Postecoglu took over as manager. He has an attacking philosophy. Tottenham’s DNA is coming back,” Mabot said. “When I hear the fans, I can sense they are laughing. ” he assessed.
“Kane loved the club and Chairman Daniel Levy thanked Kane for the great work he did,” he said. “When a player like Kane leaves, you have a choice. I signed a contract. He has great potential.”
“This is Richarlison’s chance to be a hero, and we will bring someone before the transfer window closes.” and emphasized the positive aspects. /letmeout@osen.co.kr
