Tottenham's Pedro Porro could be forgiven for thinking: at least someone loves me, if he’s picked for Spain in their Euros qualifier with Norway on Saturday.
It has been a baptism of fire at Tottenham for the talented 23-year-old but he says having his debut dubbed ‘so bad it’s unbelievable’ by Tim Sherwood, and then hearing of current coach Antonio Conte’s blow-up post match at the weekend, has done nothing to dim his desire to make his move to Spurs a success.
‘I have taken a lot of stick. There was the coach, I don’t remember [his name] now,’ he says of Sherwood’s brutal assessment of his first game for Tottenham.
