#5 The team plays as a unit
Whether you see the videos on social media of Dele Alli and Eric Dier playing basketball together or the various handshakes as a goal celebration, it’s clear to see that this squad are clearly good friends and have bonded extremely well.
This is often something that is overlooked in football, as the team spirit can often pull teams out of dark situations and drag them to glory. The way that this team plays on the pitch is also a factor of good team spirit, as each member is ready to fight for everyone else in the squad. They all realise that they are in the fight together, and are willing to do what it takes to win.
Without Kane, Spurs will need someone to step up and work hard, but whether it be Janssen, Heung-min Son or Dele Alli, they work as hard as possible to win.
Of course, there are other factors apart from just team spirit, that has made this side a joy to watch. Spurs’ talented players work in a correct system and also play as a unit rather than as individual players which means that they are in a great position to fill any gaps left by important squad members.
