Tottenham defender William Gallas is unsure if his teammates can hold their line against Champions League opponents AC Milan.
Gallas, a player experienced in the art of beating teams like AC Milan, urged his manager to adopt a more cautious approach.
"Milan will be very clever," he said of the Serie A leaders. "And for that we need to be tight, compact."
But he then undermined his argument by warning of the dangers of Antonio Cassano.
"He's cup-tied," said a member of the assembled media in the Sala Stampa at the San Siro.
"I didn't know," said Gallas with a smile. "But then I don't follow football. I'm sorry."
A hearty laugh followed, but so too did a serious question. Does he think Spurs can perform with such defensive discipline?
"That's a good question," he said. "I'm not sure."
