Ramos relishing Tottenham pressure

JUANDE RAMOS accepts it would be a disaster if Tottenham get knocked out of Europe this afternoon — but insists he is relishing the pressure (kick-off 2.40pm).

Ramos has overseen Spurs’ worst league start for 53 years and failing to defend their 2-1 lead over Wisla Krakow would increase the spotlight on the head coach, who will be without £22 million (€27 million) worth of signings as Vedran Corluka and Roman Pavlyuchenko were signed having already played in the UEFA Cup this season.

At stake is a place in the group stages of a competition that offers a more likely route for success, given Spurs are bottom of the Premier League.
