Sutter revels in Spurs experience
Scott Sutter played down the influence of the artificial pitch but admitted the surface handed Young Boys an advantage in their win over Spurs.[LNB] Spurs boss Harry Redknapp called for plastic surfaces to be banned from European football's elite club competition in the wake of the loss last night, in which his team were 3-0 down after 28 minutes.[LNB]Sutter, though, believes there is little difference between the artificial pitch and the grass surface at Tottenham's White Hart Lane home, which will host the second leg next Wednesday.[LNB]He told BBC Radio Five Live: "It's definitely an advantage for us; it's an advantage that we train here every day, not just with the pitch but we're also so familiar with the surroundings.[LNB]"The difference between a perfectly cut pitch - like it probably is at White Hart Lane - and here, they're both as fast as each other, you just need to be a bit more aware about how the ball bounces when it's wet."[LNB]Spurs fan Sutter enjoyed playing against his heroes and swapped shirts with Robbie Keane at the end of the clash.[LNB]"It was a special feeling," added the 24-year-old right-back, who was born in Enfield.[LNB]"The whole build-up to it for the last couple of weeks has been a bit hectic, with not many people knowing that I play over here.[LNB]"It was a great feeling playing against players you watch on TV.[LNB]"In any other circumstances I'd want Tottenham to do well and win the game."
