Harry cautious about Young Boys draw
Harry Redknapp was today taking nothing for granted after Tottenham were handed the easiest possible route to the Champions League proper.[LNB] Spurs' first European Cup match for almost half a century will be against Swiss side Young Boys following this morning's play-off round draw in Nyon.[LNB]The two-leg tie was a dream pairing for Redknapp's side, who avoided much trickier clashes with the likes of Dynamo Kiev, Sampdoria, Auxerre and Braga.[LNB]But the Tottenham boss insisted reaching the competition's lucrative group stage was not a foregone conclusion, with Young Boys having stunned Fenerbahce in the previous round.[LNB]"We'll be favourites, obviously, but we have to give them the utmost respect," Redknapp told his club's official website.[LNB]"They beat Fenerbahce in the last round and we watched the first leg on DVD and they could have won four or five; they hammered them at home.[LNB]"They then went away and won in Turkey and that's a fantastic result.[LNB]"There are no easy games at this level. They also have an astroturf pitch at their stadium and they play well on it, so it will be a tough game for us.[LNB]"We'll have to be prepared for it but we've got Manchester City before that in the Premier League (August 14) and that's the first priority.[LNB]"We'll get that one out of the way and then it will be into the Champions League and we've got to try and get into the group stages; that would be fantastic for the club."
