[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = As Tottenham lost his second straight victory, negative opinions about their chances of winning are pouring out.
Tottenham Hootspur lost 0-2 to Leicester City in the 14th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 11:15 pm on the 20th. This put Tottenham to 5th place with 25 points.
It was a painful second consecutive defeat. Tottenham led the EPL without losing to Liverpool after losing to Everton in the opening game. The driving force was the explosive scoring power of Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, and the revival of a stable football unique to coach Jose Mourinho. However, it was shaken by losing 1-2 against Liverpool and 0-2 until Leicester, and the atmosphere was completely broken.
I tried to change, but I didn’t succeed. In the recent 2nd match, coach Mourinho made variations on the existing system, such as putting Son Heung-min in the center or using Tangwi Ndombele and Giovanni as Selso at the same time, but did not produce any results. There was a difference in points in an instant. Tottenham fell 6 points from 1st place Liverpool and dropped to 5th place.
Perry Groves, who played for Arsenal, told British Talk Sports, “Tottenham have achieved results from their counterattack. The combination of Son Heung-min and Kane won points by scoring even with few opportunities. However, it was regrettable that he relied only on Son Heung-min and Kane’s skills. We need players who can consistently put creative passes with different attack options. In reality, Tottenham is competing for fourth place.”
Manchester United legend striker Andy Cole said: “I agree with Groves. In my personal opinion, I don’t think Tottenham is likely to win the EPL all season. He certainly had a fantastic early season under Mourinho. However, it did not completely close the gap with Liverpool or other teams.”
