M. Pochettino: D. Alli - the best player of his age in the world

"Tottenham" team coach Mauricio Pochettino spared no praise for his pupil Dele Alli.

According to the Argentine, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder has no competitors on the entire planet.

"When we compare the player with other footballers of his age around the world, I think he is the best," the specialist said.

"At that age and showing such athletic form. He makes productive passes and does other things. I don't understand why there is still a desire to criticize him," Pochettino observed.

"Name at least one more 21-year-old player who is better. Maybe you will find a similar one, but none less important."
