"We have to remember that he is very young and the pressure on his is very big", Pochettino said in declarations collected by 'TMW'
In England, there is a lot of expectation on Dele Alli. "Everybody expects big things from him and he is only 23-years-old," he continued.
Pochettino believes that this pressure could be too big for Dele Alli. The 'Spurs' coach hopes that he can lift this weight from his shoulders and return to his usual self. "He was fantastic when he showed his talent and we hope that he returns to this level," he concluded.
Injuries have also taken their toll on Dele Alli. Since June 2018 to October 2019, he has suffered from seven muscle problems. But the midfielder continues fighting to return to how he always is and has not hesitated to even resort to a nutritionist to try to stop those ailments that are causing him so many setbacks.
