In fact, there is no better game to test if this new tactical system can work or not in the coming weeks. He's grown into most decisive player in the roster but he will still need to adapt to the new system. AC Milan are still far from being back in a decent form, but there are the first signals of recovery after such a difficult moment. He debuted the new look against Inter Milan in a 1-0 defeat in the Derby della Madonnina. Stefano Pioli's boys also lost against Torino in the Coppa Italia's round of 16 and against Inter Milan the Supercoppa Italiana's final in Riyadh. In the interim the drew against AS Roma and Lecce and lost against Lazio, Sassuolo and Inter Milan.

The Champions League returns this week with several eye-catching matches across the round of 16, including Milan v Tottenham.

I think they will do everything possible to try to win and to give the fans a special night." Winning a place in the Champions League for 2023-24 is the only goal left. Now perhaps, he has an even tougher task in arresting a slump and convincing people that title win was not simply a one-off. "Several players, such as Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, Sandro Tonali are not in the best of form,” added Pace.

20:00/15:00

Tottenham's Champions League trip to AC Milan on Tuesday comes 12 years to the day since the infamous clash between Gennaro Gattuso and Joe Jordan at the ...

Gattuso tried to make amends to Jordan directly, inviting him to be his guest in Milan in the months after the game in 2011. To his credit, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp attempted to intervene, but his appetite to get in the middle of the two enraged silverbacks was clearly minimal. While, unable to take the player up on his offer, Jordan insists he has no issue with him or regrets over the night. Corluka would be carried off on a stretcher and later leave the ground on crutches. "I could say that these things happen on the pitch, but I am ashamed of it. He had a problem with the referee. In truth, the Italian need only look at the images a quick Google search would offer; of the toothless grin Jordan earned by sticking his head in where it hurts during a goalmouth scramble in a reserve game early in his playing days. The size of the tie leant itself to commitment, with wet conditions making controlling tackles trickier. He obviously had a problem with himself. "It was a big game, he was captain of his club, we won the game and he had problems with one or two of the players. He would have learned of a player who was schooled by the likes of Billy Bremner and Norman Hunter in arguably the toughest changing room of them all at Leeds United in the 1970s. He may also have seen that in 2007, the Times named the Scot the 34th hardest man in football history.

It was the last time Tottenham met AC Milan at the San Siro, and a night when Italian rage came up against Scottish granite.

I went to Capri and got the ferry from Napoli. ‘I got down there and we had a few words after the game. The guy selling tickets pointed at me and said: “Joe Jordan!”.’ Earlier this season he took his grandson Samuel to watch Milan play Monza at the San Siro. ‘The difference in Italy was when you were with the club, your time was theirs and rightly so. It wasn’t just getting booked, it was the fact he couldn’t play the second game, that was him out. ‘They got us four tickets – the best tickets.’ First, he shoved the Spurs coach in the throat as the two men squared up on the touchline. 'He'd lost it and I was there to face him… Even in my days as player, I didn’t get sent off much. He didn’t have to. Typically, Jordan stood his ground but didn’t retaliate.

Peter Crouch scored Tottenham's winning goal at San Siro in 2011... but the game is remembered for Gattuso vs 'Jaws'

And, with Milan having recently slipped out of Serie A’s top four and facing a battle to again qualify for the Champions League, Jordan believes that another Tottenham win inside the San Siro is possible. With his daughter now living in the city, he still takes Italian language classes, returns frequently and invariably fits in a trip to the San Siro. I would stay in the morning, sleep early afternoon after lunch, and train again in the afternoon. “Playing abroad was something I had always wanted to do,” says Jordan. “I think the big thing about Harry’s teams was to enjoy their football, play the game, express themselves and not just at 3pm on a Saturday, but in training as well. What it did do was enhance a certain image and even ensure his part in a famous Heineken advert. I wished him all the best for the remainder of the season and that was it.” “The dressing-room was full of knowledge, big characters, who set standards. Harry also had a discipline in respect of the way he wanted his teams to play on and off the pitch. “You have to remember the players are full of emotion,” says Jordan. “There’s no way it was going to get any further from my point of view. In the second, which occurred when all hell broke loose on the final whistle and a shirtless Gattuso went in with his head, Jordan had already removed his glasses in apparent preparation for what might follow.

With both sides’ inconsistent league form, it is tough to know how this fixture will turn out. AC Milan 1-1 Tottenham Yves Bissouma is also injured while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is unavailable through suspension.

"For sure, it was really difficult to stay far from the team," he added. "You know we are talking about two young players, their first game in the Champions League, they are really young - 20 and 22 years old. "A week ago, they beat Manchester City, but we don't come in better or worse than them. You speak only football and then you have a lot of TV that speaks football and putting a lot of pressure. "There are also external factors like injuries for very important players for us," he said. "And this stability is lacking this year.

Antonio Conte says some of his Tottenham players "collapse" when they feel under too much pressure.

"Winning the Champions League is a dream but it's useless to think about it now. It will be a big game that we will have to play well." "In Italy you speak about football from Monday and you finish on Sunday. We are working on this, we want to make our players more resilient." "And this stability is lacking this year. Despite a 1-0 win over Manchester City on February 5, Spurs have lost three of their last five Premier League games.

Glenn Hoddle spoke exclusively to football.london about Antonio Conte and Tottenham ahead of Spurs' Champions League Round of 16 showdown against AC Milan.

I think they will have enough over the two legs." "You've got to wonder that they might have a little bite at you like an animal that hasn't been so well and it suddenly might just turn on you. "If he doesn't want to sign he will give his reasons why and they may be personal reasons or it may be the club or lack of funds. There comes a time where the club need to know, the fans need to know and everyone needs to know." I think it will be a different scenario for Tottenham, and most teams, in the second leg as I feel knockout football becomes the real crux of the knockout round. "I think the second leg of any tie is the key. They haven't been great at home in their new stadium in Europe in the group stages, but I think now the tournament really starts. I'd love him to sign and I think there's a good chance Harry Kane would sign then and there's more chance of success around the corner over the next few years. It's important Spurs get across there and don't get heavily beaten, if they get a draw or a sensible result then bring them back home. "I don't think it will be right even if he says right I'm going at the end of the season. They need information to then go and get what you want to get. Players will get on with whatever game or whatever team is picked for any weekend so that will happen, but for planning he needs to understand that the club need to know where they are going.

Two clubs desperate to find their best form meet in Europe's top competition as AC Milan host Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League Round of ...

Tottenham are missing key midfield pieces, and the AC Milan midfielders are in horrid form. While selecting Kulusevski to score or assist feels more palatable, he's more than twice as likely to assist as he is to score, and the odds double when picking him just to assist a goal. AC Milan's recent downturn can almost directly be linked to a dip in form for their lynchpin midfielder Sandro Tonali. Spurs only saw two of their six Champions League group stage matches go over the 2.5 goal total, but those came against chaotic teams Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille. - AC Milan have never beaten Tottenham in their four all-time meetings, all coming in UEFA continental competition. If, however, Tonali has a performance like he did against, say, Sassuolo in late January, where he coughed up the ball repeatedly, Spurs will be a force on the break. Both sides have shipped goals on multiple occasions, then gone out and earned a clean sheet, only to be blasted again, all within the span of a few days or weeks. He has not scored or assisted a goal in his last five matches across all competitions. On both occasions, Tottenham won the first leg by a single goal, and the two sides drew the second leg. AC Milan sat second in the Serie A table at the break in November, while Tottenham stood in fourth in the Premier League. Both sides feature plus odds on the moneyline and are nearly dead even as such. Both teams have seen their domestic chase for a top four spot fall flat in recent weeks, and are in dire need of a boost.
