Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou blamed the offense for the opening draw.
According to a report by the British media Daily Mail on the 21st (Korea time), Postecoglou blamed the strikers for making the wrong judgment on the front line. Son Heung-min, who played as a left wing forward, has only one shot and no effective shot, which is not irrelevant to this point.
Son Heung-min started in the away game of Leicester City, the opening game of the 2024-2025 Premier League, held the previous day, but he showed disappointing performance and watched the 1-1 draw.
Leicester City was a promoted club this season, so Tottenham missed a game that should have taken three points. British media 'HITC' had no unusual developments in the first round, but it was surprising that Leicester City drew with Tottenham'I evaluated it.
Postecoglou lamented after the game that he was `disappointed.'
Postecoglou was "Wasteful. Allowing a tie and for 15-20 minutes we were lost. I couldn't find my composure.'
Postecoglou criticized the attackers.
Tottenham put Dominic Solanke at the forefront and placed Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson on the left and right. James Maddison led the way as an attacking midfielder. About 10 minutes before the end of the game, Johnson and Madison were excluded, and Timo Werner and Dejan Klusevski were added. Just before the extra time, Son Heung-min also replaced him with a Hishali song, but nothing changed.
Postecoglou is quite disappointed with the lack of sharpness in the final (offensive zone) and some misjudgment. We didn't get the compensation that our football deserved." It is interpreted as if the game was overwhelming, but it did not bring results due to lack of goal-scoring ability.
