Since his comeback in Tottenham and the enthronement of Tim Sherwood, Emmanuel Adebayor has not tasted defeat in the Premier League. 5 games, 4 wins and 1 draw. This performance is also due to the pair that he now forms with Spaniard Roberto Soldado.

For a long time under Andre Villas- Boas, the former Valencian recruited to replace Adebayor, evolved as lone striker and did not produce the same feat in Spain. But since he plays with the Togolese, Roberto Soldado enjoys his newfound form. Top scorer with 10 goals, he dropped statements on the official website of Tottenham. Extracts.

“I think my partnership with Ade is a very good thing. It makes my life a lot easier because I feel safe knowing he is around me, I can count on him in this new dynamic and it feels good. We work very well together and I think it really sends a very clear message to opposing defenses. I think they are very afraid of us because we are showing a new face.”

“This is not really something new. I just think the dynamic that involves having two strikers in front means that we can move much ahead. Whereas before, there may be only one striker, the defenders were fixed on him. There was not much freedom to move, but now with this new freedom, we can create ripe opportunities. We have more space to move around and I guess that’s what happened against Southampton and also Stoke. Adebayor makes things much easier.”
