Behind the scenes, the duo are constantly sharing information to fine-tune their positioning. Porro revealed that their understanding is not just limited to what happens when the whistle blows, but is the result of constant dialogue throughout the matchday to ensure they remain synchronised against elite opponents.
"We even talk to each other before matches. And even during the match. People understand each other by talking, as I always say. I get along very well with him, we have a great relationship. It's getting better all the time, which is important for him, for the team, and for me. I'm very happy about that," the Spurs star revealed.
He continued: "You want me to reveal the secrets…(laughs) Nothing. Just aspects of the game, what he needs depending on what the opponent does. I'm not going to say anything, but it's what we need during the match."
