Pochettino: Where Spurs striker Kane and Mbappe are so different to eachother

Former Tottenham and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino has compared England striker Harry Kane and France star Kylian Mbappé.

Pochettino has worked closely with both stars, who will face off in Saturday's World Cup quarterfinal.

He said, “Kane is focused on the game all the time.

"Mbappe is the exact opposite of that. If he does not touch the ball, then he is relaxed."

Kane has 13 goals and three assists in 22 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions this season. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he's scored one goal.

Mbappé has scored 21 goals and provided five assists in 20 appearances for PSG. He has scored five goals and provided two assists in four matches for the 2022 World Cup for France.
