Tottenham Hotspur is laughing at the freshmen's performance.
Tottenham Hotspur met Luton Town in the eighth round of the 2023/24 Premier League away match at Lucan Kenilworth Road in England on the 7th and won 1-0. Tottenham is the sole leader in the league with no loss in eight consecutive games since the opening.
Tottenham's "Ace" Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga ahead of this season. Kane scored 280 goals and 64 assists in 435 games in Tottenham's uniform. The score was great, but it had a great influence on the game itself.
Naturally, Tottenham's difficulties were expected this season. Louis Saha, who played in the Premier League, also expected the replacement of Postecoglou. Saha said, "It's hard to answer, but Tottenham manager is a tough job. We've seen top managers have had a hard time at Tottenham over the past few years," he said, explaining the reason for the selection.
"If Tottenham does not show good performance at the beginning of the season, Coach Postecoglou will be under pressure. The Kane problem has not been resolved, and the risk of being replaced is the highest because it is a new coach. Modern soccer doesn't know what's going to happen," he explained.
Tottenham have completely reversed these expectations. Tottenham started somewhat nervously with a draw against Brentford in the opening game, but soon raised its ranking by catching Manchester United and Bournemouth. Since then, he has recorded as many as four wins and one draw in the last five games, the fastest 20 points in the Premier League.
According to local British media, Tottenham's early season is the best early trend in 60 years. In a good atmosphere, there were new students' performances. Tottenham acquired James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario and Mickey Panderpen in the last transfer window.
Madison has been known as a top offensive midfielder in the league since his days at Leicester City. Leicester City found a new team last season as it was relegated to the second division, and moved to Tottenham. He gained credibility when he was appointed vice-captain upon his move to Tottenham. He has two goals and five assists in eight league games this season, ranking first in helping in the Premier League.
The newly recruited Vicario is also active. Lloris has been Tottenham's main goalkeeper in recent years. Since joining the club in 2012, he has played 447 games in Tottenham's uniform. The English Premier League alone has played 361 games. Recently, however, his skills have gradually declined. He gave way to Frazier Foster in the second half of last season due to injuries.
Tottenham couldn't trust Lloris forever. I found a new goalkeeper in this transfer market. Guglielmo Vicario joined the team. Vicario had seven clean sheets in 32 games for Empoli, Italy, last season.
He wore a Tottenham uniform this season, but he doesn't need an adjustment period. He has lost eight goals in eight Premier League games this season, and has recorded three clean sheet games. The loss rate is not very low, but the defense that comes out during the game is saving the team.
Vanderpen is also showing good performance in defense. At the time of his move to Tottenham, not many expected him to adapt to the Premier League this quickly. Of course, Van der Penn scored one goal and two assists in 33 games in Wolfsburg, the German Bundesliga, last season, but it is not easy to perform his skills from the first season in the Premier League, which is famous for being tough.
Tottenham has invested 50 million euros (about 71.4 billion won) in recruiting Panderpen. So far, Panderpen has been doing "money right." Panderpene, who played in all games this season, was praised by Tottenham manager Enje Postecoglou after the last game. 스포츠토토
Coach Postecoglou said, "Panderpen was excellent in the way he played. We knew he had to face a lot of long balls and make physical plays when we were putting Luton on a strong side. Panderpens have excellent qualities. He is maturing and learning.
Thanks to his freshman performance, Tottenham rose to the top of the Premier League. Tottenham will play against Fulham in the ninth round of the Premier League on the 24th.
