Tottenham UEFA Cup winner Miller: Van Dijk overrated; Kane can do him

Tottenham UEFA Cup winner Paul Miller says Harry Kane should start the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Miller argues Kane, who has recovered from an ankle injury, has always done well against Reds defender Virgil van Dijk.

He told The Sun: "Harry's playing. Poch has a choice. Start him and give him 70 minutes or bring him on at half- time or after an hour?

"There could be extra-time, remember. That would be two hours football after not playing for a while.

"Harry does well against Van Dijk and he always scores against Liverpool.

"Van Dijk is all right but I don't think he's the superstar everyone makes out.

"It's easy to be a defender nowadays."
