Kane and Son could lead Tottenham Hotspur to Premier League title; Mourinho’s tactical approach is working out

Tottenham endured a frustrating 19/20 season, barely making it to the Europa League as the longest season in football history reached its conclusion. However, the 20/21 season has made the boys from London seem like a team reborn. 

With many shrewd investments in the transfer market to meet Jose Mourinho’s demands, Spurs look like real title contenders this season with the likes of Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon and Gareth Bale headlining the list of arrivals in London. 

From a more tactical perspective, Jose Mourinho must be given credit for trying to risk being different to get results.

As of the football played in the modern-day, the German tactic of Gegenpressing is the most popular. Many top clubs in Europe follow the philosophy of pressing high and keeping in possession whilst defending a high line. 

Instead of choosing to follow the system that so many big clubs have implemented in their playing, Mourinho has chosen to stick to his philosophy of having players stick to their shape and defend deep. 

At the mantle of Spurs’ counter-attacking prowess is the partnership between Heung Min Son and Harry Kane. The England captain has been deployed as a very different player this season, and his role on the pitch has become vastly different from the beastly goal-getter that we are used to seeing.

Kane, instead, leads the race for the highest number of assists this season with 7 goals set up by the forward already. Son, on the other hand, shares the top spot for the Golden Boot with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 

Jose Mourinho has praised the partnership between the duo, that has resulted in as many as 9 goal contributions involving only two of Spurs’ star attackers.

The Portuguese tactician acknowledged the fact that the rapport between Son and Kane has risen from their time under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, and proceeded to give the Argentinian his share of credit for the deadly strike partnership that has put Spurs in the hunt for their first piece of silverware in over 13 years.
