da bet sport： It is time for Dele Alli to prove his worth to Tottenham Hotspur.
Ever since his move to the club from MK Dons and his emergence as a genuine star-in-the-making, Alli has loved the big games.
He is most prolific against Chelsea, netting six goals in seven games, but he has also scored twice each against Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. Alli has one goal to his name against Liverpool, this weekend’s opponents in the Champions League final.
This is far and away the biggest game of Alli’s career.
He was involved in the World Cup semi-final when England played Croatia but now there is tangible silverware involved. The Champions League trophy will be lifted after the final whistle and Alli could be one of the 23 men to hoist it aloft, a winners’ medal draped around his neck.
He has shown signs, after all, that he is back to his best in recent months after a sub-par season.
After a mixed campaign, he laid on the most impudent of assists against Ajax in the semi-final, flicking a ball through to Lucas Moura to score his hat-trick goal in the 95th minute. It was an assist that only Alli could make, a touch only he could really see.
He is a player with an obnoxious amount of flair and the ability to twist opponents inside out when he is on it.
But, by the same token, he can go missing. He has been marked out of games in the past and has struggled to find his way back in when things go against him.
This weekend, there is no hiding place.
Alli will surely play; one cannot imagine him being benched even if Harry Kane is fit – that ignominious honour will surely befall Lucas Moura.
Now, then, is the time to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and prove that he is as good as Spurs fans believe he is.
Even in a mixed campaign, he has scored seven goals and laid on eight assists. As the season comes to an end, he can erase memories of those anonymous performances and those difficult outings.
If he turns up and plays his role as we know he can, he will yet again be discussed as one of the best young midfielders in world football.
It is down to Alli and only Alli to grasp the biggest opportunity of his life.
