Merely an hour from Seoul via multiple modes of mass transit. Even less if they are going from the city of Incheon where the airport is located.

Many years ago, a famous Japanese pornstar visited Korea. The arrival lounge was packed with fans, mostly middle school boys, who I'm sure were not driven there by their mums!
Which pornstar was that? Asking for a friend.

Pornstars (only women) are always welcome
 
My reporter mate has a colleague out there. Apparently the squad are being treated like Rockstar's and are loving the attention.

This trip could do wonders for our squads confidence and give us a real psychological advantage going into this season.

Compare that to last season when we couldn't find a coach, Kane vowed to leave and our pre season took us to Milton Keynes.

This squad needs to realise that we are no longer plucky underdogs trying to luck our way into top 4. We are challenging for the league title.
 
Reports said "hundreds" but The Sun's (for once I choose to believe them :cool: ) estimate is more like it....

SON HEUNG-MIN welcomed his Tottenham team-mates to his home country of South Korea at the airport - along with 3,000 adoring fans.
The local hero, who turned 30 on Friday, held up a sign that read ‘Welcome to Seoul’ at the Arrivals section of Incheon Airport ready to greet the rest of the squad.

...well technically, 3000 is 30 Hundred!
 
Son is bigger than Ben Hur there and so is the team, that is now patently obvious. (if it wasn't before)


Ben Hur ?

So, didn't watch the whole thing but just had the livestream of training on in the background during breakfast.

- most of the ball work I saw was based around playing out from the back, with the opposition playing a counter press. Some player notes:

Fagan Walcott always impresses me as a modern cb with good comfort receiving and passing the ball. Interested to see how he does on loan, possibly never our level but he's a talented player. Charlie Sawyer also looks decent.

Pape Sarr wasn't really prioritised, poor lad was shafted out at LWB or else out of the drill with the four you'd expect taking up 95% of the cm minutes. Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Skipp all strong and sharp. None of the wingbacks were particularly good or bad. Gil was bright but his finishing wasn't great. Richarlison finished every chance he got.

After this, Ventrone ran them into the ground. Taking into account the heat, they did 10+ sets of three pitch-lengths at about a 70-75% running pace. Gil, Sarr, Sanchez and Parrot the three strongest probably. Kane, Son, Hojbjerg, Bissouma finished up early, the first two were shattered. Take into account they play 90mins 60+ times per year when you incl club and country. Tanganga ran separate to the rest, just back from surgery I guess. Really wish Ndombele was included on the tour, I'd pay any money to watch him run that drill. Perisic and Kulusevski not involved.
