Eric Dier: You want that competitive edge going into the season

Eric Dier spoke to tottenhamhotspur.com about his team's pre-season encounter against Rangers on Saturday.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult game and not much of a friendly,” reflected Eric at Ibrox. “You know when you are getting booed off the bus, it’s not going to be a friendly! It’s really nice to get the chance to come and play here. I’ve never played here before and myself and a lot of the boys were excited to come and play at such an historic ground.

“It was a good test for us, and you want that. You don’t want to go into the season without having felt that competitive edge. We always have it. We have it in training, we have it in friendlies. You want that going into the season. The games in Korea as well, they were competitive, and I’m sure Roma will be the same.”
