Alli: Pochettino is great for English football

The 19-year-old midfielder praised his club manager's handling of young players after he scored his first international goal for England against France on Tuesday night Tottenham mid fielder Dele Alli has voiced his admiration for Mauricio Pochettino and believes the Spurs coach's trust in young players is improving the England national team.

The likes of Eric Dier, Ryan Mason and Harry Kane have all broken into the England set-up after being given a chance to prove their worth at club level by Pochettino and Alli – who netted his first international goal on Tuesday – is grateful for the faith shown in him by the 43-year-old.

"He's a great manager and he puts a lot of trust in young English players," Alli told reporters.

"It's a great thing for English football. It's a great platform for the club and it shows what we're about.

"He's a great guy, really passionate, and he cares about the players. If you've got any problems he's always there for you. I can already tell that from the short time I've been there.

"He puts a lot of trust into youngsters which is obviously really good for me."
