David Beckham tells Mauricio Pochettino that he wants to play for Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino must have been happy with the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace at the new Tottenham Stadium.

Spurs had a tough start to the campaign with a defeat by Newcastle at home, but we were incredible against the Eagles.

Son Heung-min was one of the stars of the show, however, David Beckham was also present in the stands watching the game.

The English legend had met with the Tottenham squad last season too and the Sun quoted Pochettino saying that Beckham wanted to play for Spurs thanks to the stadium:

“I was talking with Beckham after the game and he said he wished he still played and that he played for Tottenham because this stadium is amazing. We haven’t played many games here and it’s important to make this our house.

“With time we will be at home here and then it will become very difficult for opponents to win here.”

Spurs need to pick up results at home

The stadium is one of the best in the world and we need to make it a fortress like we did to White Hart Lane.

We were unbeatable at the old stadium and it will take time for us to find that same kind of form in our new home.

The loss to Newcastle was a shock result and hopefully, we don’t have similar slip-ups for the rest of the season.

Our next game is against Olympiakos in the Champions League and the second game in the group stage of the competition sees us face Bayern Munich at home.

The Bavarians should be our rivals for top spot in the group, and a win over them should make us the favourites to finish first.
