Eric Dier is worried that football is losing its characters from the game

🗣 "I loved playing against Diego Costa. It’s a shame you get fewer characters like him in the game. In the 2015 League Cup Final, Costa said something bad in Portuguese, I replied in Portuguese, and he looked at me with complete confusion.

Lots of people don’t know that’s where I grew up, especially foreign players. There’s a general consensus that I just came through Tottenham’s academy."
