Like Paulo Dybala or Lionel Messi, this type of player.  "We need to be careful with him but also careful with all of their players we are going to play against on Wednesday."Spurs are in a strong position after Kane and Christian Eriksen both struck valuable away goals in the first leg, but Pochettino insists his side will not sit back and hold on for a low-scoring draw on the night. "We are a brave team - very positive people that love the challenge," he said."We need to think we can win, we always think in this way, and then what happens will be a consequence of our performance."If we perform the way we usually do we will be close to winning and going through to the next stage."</blockquote>
