Etienne Capoue is thriving with Tottenham, earning praise from his coach for his performances. Despite almost joining Liverpool in 2011, Capoue felt he wasn’t ready for the Premier League at the time and chose not to make the move. Instead, he later opted for Tottenham, where he has been gradually gaining more playing time.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Capoue explained his decision, saying, “I knew Liverpool were interested, but I wasn’t really ready for the Premier League.”
Now, as a key player for Tottenham, he expresses his satisfaction with the competitive nature of the club and his desire to qualify for the Champions League. Capoue feels a strong sense of confidence from the coach and is particularly looking forward to performing well against Liverpool on Sunday.
Reflecting on his time in the English championship, Capoue believes that the experience has made him more mature. He appreciates the passion for football that people have in England, stating, “Here, people seem to live football as a passion, and that gave me a new taste for football. The spirit, the people, the mentality, the atmosphere, it’s great.”
