He had to put out a few fires across the pitch.

Tottenham coach Joe Jordan has heaped praise on midfielder Sandro.
Sandro was outstanding in both legs of their Champions League victory over AC Milan.
“He’s not a typical ‘Brazilian’ player,” Jordan told Spurs TV Online.
“You think about the likes of Socrates, Falcao and all those
magnificent players. I was fortunate enough to play in that era, but
Sandro has his own qualities.
“The partnership with Luka Modric, who is a marvellous footballer, has a nice balance where one blossoms against the other.
“Sandro was asked to do an awful lot against AC Milan because of the
possession they had. He really showed his worth because we had to
defend.
“He had to put out a few fires, get across the pitch, snuff that player
out, get across the pitch again, get another tackle in and that’s his
game.
“It wasn’t the case that we wanted to sit back and defend and to absorb
the pressure, but you have hold your hands up sometimes and the team we
were playing against were passing it so well, moving it well and had a
player like Seedorf showing all his qualities.
“So we had to rely on players like Sandro to see where those passes were
going and to anticipate, intercept – and that’s exactly what he did.”
