LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Vincent Janssen's improvement came after he gave the struggling Tottenham striker a wake-up call.
Janssen scored his first goal from open play on his 30th appearance for Tottenham in their 6-0 win against Millwall last weekend. But before that Pochettino had said that 22-year-old had been looking much better in training, after publicly warning him to "do more".
Harry Kane's ankle injury, which will sideline the England striker for at least a month, is a "great chance" for Janssen, according to Pochettino, and the Tottenham manager said a meeting with the Dutchman in his office had been the turning point.
