‘The man’s a MACHINE!’: Tottenham fans hail Ivan Perisic’s ‘dedication and mentality’ with the wing-back ‘built different’ as he starts for Spurs just NINE DAYS after playing 90 minutes at the World Cup for Croatia
Fans have been heaping praise on Ivan Perisic after he was named in Tottenham’s starting 11 to face Brentford just nine days after his last World Cup appearance.
The 33-year-old played every game for Croatia in Qatar, including their third-place play-off win over Morocco that took place less than two weeks ago.
He is joined in the starting line-up by fellow World Cup star Harry Kane, but it was Perisic who received the most plaudits online.
‘The man’s a machine,’ tweeted one admiring fan, while another added that Spurs are ‘very lucky to have’ a player with such ‘dedication and mentality.’
Others added it is time to ‘start respecting Perisic more’, and that the winger is ‘built different.’
Tottenham travel to an exciting but unpredictable Brentford side looking to cling on to a top four spot after a nervy run before the World Cup.
