Girona vs Spurs for the 42nd Costa Brava Trophy
Girona vs Spurs for the 42nd Costa Brava Trophy
 |
| 42nd Edition of the Costa Brava Trophy |
Spurs next preseason game is against Girona, which is a city in the Catalonia region of Spain and thus a LaLiga side.
Footballers in Spain are all brought up to play passing football from childhood, thus we are likely to come up against a team who will pass their way out from the back.
We will play them without Harry Kane and the other World Cup players who have been taking a well earned three-week rest from football, although they have all had individual fitness programmes to adhere to during that time.
We will be playing in the 42nd Edition of the Costa Brave Trophy. The manager of Girona, Eusebio Sacristán, described Tottenham as one of the best teams in Europe and that it will be a "test to know where we are and what our level is".
The game has raised a lot of excitement, dampened somewhat with the news that the World Cup stars will not be travelling.
Tottenham, who a few days ago faced LaLiga Champions Barcelona in the United States, will be missing Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Mousa Dembélé, who are still on holiday along with star striker Harry Kane.
Girona have won the Costa Brava Trophy 15 times. The last occasion was last season when they defeated Manchester City 1-0. It is the second oldest competition in Catalonia.
The match will be played on August 4th (today) at 8pm (local time) in the Montilivi stadium.
