Spurs star Alli insists he’ll keep his cool in Russia

Dele Alli insists he has no concerns about losing his cool at the World Cup.

The Tottenham playmaker has become a target as opposition players attempt to take advantage of his fiery streak.

But Alli, who claims he has never seen footage of David Beckham’s red card against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup, expects his football to do the talking in Russia.

“I am a big believer that you have to make mistakes to learn from them,” the 22-year-old was quoted as saying by various newspapers.

“And, yeah, I feel I learned from the things I’ve done before, but it’s not something I worry about at all.

“I haven’t seen the incident with Beckham but, you know, I feel I’ve got everything under control.

“That (opponents winding him up in Russia) is not going to be a problem.

“Obviously, I’ve done some things -before and people seem to think that will be a problem – but it’s not.”
