To react in that way is fantastic. It is not easy for him, or for people like Paul Pogba with France, because you need to give time to them to get to the right age, to mature. “There is a lot of expectation but he stays calm and good in his mind. He came back to training from the national team with a big willingness to show his quality.” Lloris added on Alli, whose brace at Stamford Bridge took his goal tally for the season to 12: “He is human. “You can always have some doubt in a difficult time but I don't think it is a difficult time for him. He didn't play [for England against Italy during the international break] and he came back to training with a big willingness to show his quality and I think he is ready to finish this season strong.” Alli netted 22 times in all competitions last season, so has some way to go if he is to get close to that return, but has shown that he remains a man for the big occasion and has also contributed 13 assists to the Tottenham cause.</blockquote>
