Redknapp puts focus on players
Harry Redknapp insists it is Tottenham's players and not him who have it all to prove in the Champions League, despite his own lack of experience in the competition.
Spurs face Werder Bremen in what is both their first match in the European Cup proper for almost half a century and manager Redknapp's first match ever at this level.
And although many of his players have played in the continent's premier club competition for other teams, Redknapp insists it is their reputations on the line rather than his.
"I don't go through my life thinking I've got to prove anything to anybody," said the 63-year-old, who took Tottenham from the relegation zone to fourth spot in the Barclays Premier League in less than two years.
"I proved what I could do by getting them into fourth place from where we were. My record has not been too shabby. I never think I've got anything to prove."
He added: "It's the players who have got prove it. I can only put them out there and pick the team. You haven't got to be a rocket scientist to pick the team. It's whether they can go out there and cope under pressure."
