Kane can be the best in the world, says his teammate Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

After a long hiatus, the Premier League is back. World-class players are once again showing their world-class qualities. Indeed, the Tottenham Hotspur players can only agree.

The symbolic “Boxing Day” has taken us back to the best football competition at Christmas time. The very first match that was played brought a dramatic plot. Brentford were due to welcome Tottenham to their stadium.

The home side started well. At the start of the second half they even had a two-goal lead. But the visitors scored two quick goals within six minutes.

Harry Kane started the race to level the scores. Then Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg completed the move with a flick on goal. Their tireless work helped to secure a valuable point.

Ninety minutes later, words of praise came for the English striker. It is he who has not had an easy time of it the last two weeks, having to put behind him the penalty he missed in the World Cup quarter-final.

During the game, there were even chants from the Brentford fans of ” You let your country down “, but the Hurricane showed years of experience, nerves of iron and confidence in himself. “To underestimate his strength is a big mistake, ” said the second goal scorer.

“He’s a machine. He’s got the quality to be a world number one. The biggest mistake you can make in football is to doubt Harry Kane,” said Højbjerg, who finished with the Danish national team in the group stage.

“I don’t doubt his mentality,” Antonio Conte said. “He faces a special situation. He had a really good championship, the team played the quarter-finals, then he missed the decisive penalty,” the Italian coach added.

He has scored over 13 goals in the English top flight this season. In total, he has scored 196 during his time in London.
