Mourinho’s Tottenham need a leader in defense

It must be recognized that the results are not accompanying him at all. In one of the toughest leagues in history, the Tottenham he is beginning to disengage from the race for European jobs.

Yesterday he completed a good first half against the “Red Devil”, but it was to come out of the break and get the jug of cold water in the form of three goals. First Fred after a lucky rebound, then Cavani after a measured center from Mason Greenwood, and finally, on the last play Greenwood himself after a good cut, they sentenced a Tottenham who was not able to articulate any dangerous play.

The team started the season at an exceptional level, but it was a team that hung by a thread, its defense. In addition to the leveling of Kane and Son, the main weapon to consider for the Spurs was their defense. The moment Dier and Alderweireld stopped offering such a high level, the game and the team’s results began to decline dramatically.

Reaching the Champions League seems like an exorbitant goal at this point as both Leicester, West Ham, Everton, Liverpool and Chelsea start with more ballots. Tottenham’s defense urgently needs a leader. The team must sign a very important player in the defensive section, as Manchester City did with Rúben Dias in his day.
