Harry’s best quality as a manager was how uncomplicated he was. His plan when he was Spurs manager was always “give it to Luka” and Luka would be told to “do something with it” so they did and he did 🤷♂️ Joe Cole said when Harry was about to bring him on for his debut he asked Cole who his favourite player was and Cole said Zola. So then Harry said “okay go play like him.” He just trusts that his good players will know what to do and he doesn’t fill their head with a tonne of instructions.
I think 'arry was pretty good as a tactician too, beat Milan in their own game and when Tottenham played with 10 it always seemed like a very minor problem due to the quick re-organization
He already played that position before, in Dinamo and for country from his debut in friendly vs. young Messi Argentina. We beat them. Like in Russia. Not 3-0, but he was playing his first game against great team like that, but he was calm like he played friendly with second or third league team. LM10, Real only 👑.
Let's be honest. Harry was a great manager. He did indeed show modric that he would be brilliant in the middle. He also taught Gareth bale not to be just a left back, he trained him to be an attacking player.
Paolo mmmm .... I have heard some deeply disturbing things about him and his views on race. When playing in England he was pretty low key on racial issues and was very friendly with many black players. On returning to Italy he was very vocal on his fascist views. According to him he is fascist not racist. I didn't realise that fascism and racism were mutually exclusive.

Now you're talking. What a wasted talent. That boy could've been up there with the likes of Gascoigne, Di Canio, the late Jimmy Greaves. As an ex professional coach it happened all the time. Booze, birds and the high life all very tempting. It's either 100% commitment or its over. Still, I bet he had a great time!
I love Harry a west ham legend. If the England job hadn't been a distraction while at Spurs, I believe they could've been world beaters. They were such a great team. Especially Bale & Modric in the side.
I would say kanu. Apart from his injury, he still do great job in Portsmouth , too bad that injury prone kill his career. Hard to find player like him. His peak at aresenal was quite short but so much memorable
If you listen carefully, he said when he came to Tottenham Modric was playing left wing. Probably because he wasn’t the typical physical midfielder expected to play in the prem at the time. It wasn’t Harry who put Modric LW it was the coaches at spurs before Harry got there…… Harry said he thought he was better in the middle and had confidence that he could play there in the prem. He didn’t claim he ‘made’ modric as some in this comment section are jumping on. Listen properly rather than hearing what you want to hear.
Absolutely. I think he was shortlisted for he ballon d'or in 2018. Mind you, he only got 6 points and came 17th. Modric got 753 and won it - first time since Kaká in 2007 that a player other than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won the award

You see clips where people question his decisions with young talent but his record speaks for itself. Influential in the careers some of the best ever talents.
Winning like 5 European Cups as one of the most important cogs in the team, winning a Ballon d'Or and taking fucking Croatia to a World Cup Final will do that, of course his reputation has grown with all he's done even in the last few years alone. He was taking the piss out of England back in 2008, he's been a top tier player for a long, long time.

@IrishFootballFanTV I can't help but feel that if the whole GOAT discussion and/or the Ballon d'Or awards weren't so focused on forwards and goals, Modric would rightly feature a lot more prominently. He's widely held as one of the best players ever, but even so, he's criminally under-appreciated, by my eye.
He had a young Jermain Defoe at West Ham then he signed him for Tottenham & Portsmouth but he didn't make the cut in this video.... OMG are you dizzy blood.... Sheeeet!
He was never a left winger. He was never played there for Croatia. Even euro 08 he played central with Niko kovac. He might have played left of a midfield 4 on occasion, doesn’t make him a winger. Point is it wasn’t Harry’s idea, he was always playmaking midfielder
@@kevinodonnell3216 i said he played on the left,not as a left winger,i checked his stats in his first seasons he played across the 4 in midfield left centre right a bit
So glad he said Luka as Spurs fan he has been unreplaceble ever since he left, it just shows you don't need muscles just brains to play the most beautiful game 👏
To be fair the mans been around actual top players imo modric is the best midfielder ever hes earned at that over the last few years looks at iniesta and xavi and then look at modric they aint really an argument to say hes not
This is just name dropping. Bale was thought of so highly by Arry he couldn't get in the Southampton side at one point, but of course, other managers improved Bale and now Arry wants the credit.
Not a huge Redknapp fan but what has him not getting in the Southampton side got to do with Redknapp? He was 16 years old when Redknapp was there, he didn't make his debut until late that season months and months after Redknapp had left. Bale's best season at Spurs may have come under Villas-Boas but he had two fantastic seasons under Redknapp, one of which he won PFA Player of the Year for, how many other players he managed won an award like that under him? Before Redknapp Bale was being written off, Redknapp moved him from LB and he was exceptional under his management, clearly one of the best players he coached and would obviously be one of his favourites. Awful shout all round.
So he moved modric from lw to cm and bale from lb to lw. Genius.
Fantastic
