"I have previously said in the press conference yesterday we expected it to be a very different match because we would be playing against one of the most important teams," Maaloul said.
"As far as the performance of Harry Kane is concerned - he is one of the best attackers in the Premier League and that is why he is highly sought after by the highest clubs," he added.
