Tottenham keeper Lloris happy with sweeping role

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris enjoys his sweeping role.

Lloris is more than just a goalkeeper for Spurs.

"I am the chief of the box," Lloris told the Mail on Sunday. "It's my area. I try to be active and control my box. With Spurs it is not just the box I control. It is just outside too.

"That is the philosophy of this club, too play high. I have no problem with it. I like to go forward. Yes, it can be a little risky sometimes, and may I can lose two or three games in a season by playing so high myself, but it also really helps the defence and stops attackers early."
