Tottenham players were left shouting after a superb block by Rodrigo Bentancur in pre-season training yesterday.

In footage posted on the club’s official YouTube channel, around 2 minutes 30 seconds, the players are doing a rondo.

It looks like they are trying to get up to a certain number of passes, potentially on the verge of passing a milestone.

Bentancur is in the middle and slides in to block a pass into Emerson Royal, knocking the ball out of the circle.

Eric Dier was among the players shouting in response, clearly disappointed that the run of passes has come to an end.

Antonio Conte could be seen in the background smiling about the spirit and intensity his players were showing in the session.

Bentancur may now get the chance to play alongside Oliver Skipp next season, having been yet to do so in a competitive Spurs match.

Yves Bissouma is also now at the club to add competition for places during a season where Spurs are of course back in the Champions League.

The 24-year-old has experience of that competition from his time with Juventus, which could prove important if Spurs are to progress deep into the tournament.

Spurs’ next game is tomorrow against Rangers, with the players now back at Hotspur Way after their pre-season tour of South Korea.
