Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham Hotspur must develop leaders at the club.
Both Eric Dier and Christian Eriksen helped guide their countries to impressive results over the past week.
The latter scoring a hat-trick to book Denmark's place at next year's World Cup, while Dier captained England in both their draws against Germany and Brazil.
And Pochettino has stressed the importance of using their leadership with Spurs.
"That is so important for us. We need to create leaders, not followers and it's so important for them to feel that experience, to manage, be leaders and to be responsible," he said. "The players are still young but they need to start to feel what it means to be a leader.
"Always to be a captain for your country is a very special thing and I'm happy for Eric. They had two big games like Germany and Brazil, his performance was very good and we all feel proud about his achievement."
On Eriksen's performance, Pochettino added: "I'm very happy for him. He scored unbelievable goals, a hat-trick, and he is now in the next World Cup – a fantastic achievement for him and of course for Denmark. I'm very happy for him because he deserves to be in the World Cup next summer."
