[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Fans of Tottenham Hotspur laughed at the performance of Tangwi Ndombele.
Tottenham knelt 1-3 against Liverpool in the 20th round of the 2020/21 season held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 29th at 5 am (Korean time). Tottenham was in sixth place with 33 points.
On this day, Ndombele started as a 3-4-3 midfielder. However, he did not perform as well as usual. Liverpool’s offensive was so strong that Tottenham was totally helpless.
The Spurs scored the opening goal for Roberto Firminu in the extra time in the first half, and allowed a second run to opponent fullback Trent Alexander Arnold in the second minute of the second half. It seemed to be chasing straight away by Pierre Emile Hoivier’s fierce medium-range prisoner, but in the second half of the 20th minute, Sadio Manet finished with Liverpool with a third goal.
Ndombele played full-time, but had to watch the team lose. He, too, couldn’t show a sharp space pass, a long-term talent. Still, a few depressants were enough to catch the attention of fans.
In particular, in the 39th minute of the first half, Ndombele received the ball in a situation where Liverpool’s forward pressure was strong, and after defeating oncoming James Milner with a Marseille turn, he handed the ball to Stephen Verbine. It was a scene where his composure and skill stood out.

Fans cheered at this scene. British media Gibme Sports introduced the reaction of fans, saying, “Eundombelle has shown a great roulette turn that Zinedine Zidane is proud of.”
One fan expressed admiration with a somewhat radical expression, saying, “Ndombele killed Milner.” Others raised their thumb, saying, “Ndombele did a better Zidane turn than Zidane.”
“It’s a great turn”, “Ndombele made Milner retire and sent home”, “Ndombele cooked Milner. “It’s really rude” and I couldn’t help but admire the perfect Marseille turn.
British BT Sports also applauded through social media (SNS), saying, “The team lost, but Ndombele was still making a name for itself.”
In addition, Ndombele boasted an excellent decompression ability, overtaking Thiago Alcantara with excellent ball control.
