Christian Eriksen has stressed the importance of pressing in midfield, saying it's no longer possible for a No. 10 to "chill" while defending at Tottenham.
Striker Harry Kane may wear the No. 10 for Spurs, but Eriksen -- who wears it on international duty with Denmark -- fills that traditional role when on the ball, but he has also developed a reputation for harrying opponents on the ball.
And he said the system employed by Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino demands constant pressing.
"The style we play at Spurs, you need everyone to press, so it is difficult to just walk around," Eriksen told the Telegraph.
