With France set to play England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Saturday, there has been a lot of talk about the Harry Kane vs Hugo Lloris matchup.
The two stars, both contracted to Tottenham, will play against each other for once, and that gave Le Parisien the perfect chance to talk with one of their former teammates, Moussa Sissoko.
Now at Nantes, the midfielder spoke to the French newspaper about the pair, who he knows very well from his time at Spurs.
He was first asked how Kane and Lloris acted in a group, with both known to have rather reserved personalities despite being the respective captains for their countries.
“Hugo, through his performances for Tottenham, in France and through his titles. Harry Kane through his performances and the amount of goals he has scored. They’ve been together for 10 years, in the same club. They’re with each other everyday, and know each other off by heart.”
Le Parisien then point out that Lloris is the record holder for number of France caps, while the Tottenham striker is the top goalscorer for England still active, and asked Sissoko who was ‘more impressive’.
He replied: “It’s complicated because the two are fantastic, but maybe Hugo because he’s going to be on 143 caps. That shows he’s performed for years, that he’s had few injuries, been consistent and always at the top.
“What Harry is doing is magnificent too. We know his qualities. He’s very intelligent in front of goal, very capable.”
