Dejan Kulusevski insisted Tottenham need flexibility.
Will Tottenham also be dissatisfied with coach Enze Postecoglou's tactics. Klusevski's interview is drawing attention. In the last match against Liverpool, Postecoglou brought up Plan A. Beyond the current EPL, he has chosen the most stable game against Liverpool, which has the most stable performance in Europe as a whole.
It was a match at Tottenham's home, but the environment was not favorable to Tottenham from the beginning. Tottenham only had about two days off against Manchester United. In addition, Tottenham desperately needs a championship trophy and there are so many injuries that they played the best against Manchester United.
Liverpool, on the other hand, not only took one more day off than Tottenham, but also gave a large number of key players a break in the Carabao Cup game. In other words, it was like Tottenham creating a more favorable environment for Liverpool if it went to a match of pressure and pressure.
The result was, as everyone knows, a catastrophe. Tottenham's defence was violated by Liverpool and experienced their worst defeat of the season, losing six runs at home. He scored three goals but couldn't determine the defeat.
Analysts are saying that Postecoglou's ability has reached its limit after the match against Liverpool. The soccer ideal pursued by Postecoglou may be beautiful, but in professional sports, if the performance does not follow, even beautiful soccer will be criticized. Some even say that they will be dismissed.
Looking back at the match against Liverpool, Klusevski said "We have to think about how we are physically. Who played the game? How many games did we play last week? Did we rest for about a week? "Football is like life, so we change everything…" he said, questioning his approach to the match against Liverpool.
Asked if Tottenham's direction was sustainable, Kulusevski replied: "Not really. Probably not. However, we need to find a way to improve it. We went out and gave everything, but it didn't work out properly. We will learn a lesson next time"Sometimes flexibility is necessary," he said.
However, Postecoglou said after the last Liverpool match that there would be no tactical correction in the future. Tottenham still have a lot of injuries. Coach Postecoglou says it is difficult because there are too many injuries, but he is changing players without any tactical correction. Rodrigo Bentancur is said to be returning from disciplinary action for racist remarks, but key resources are still out.
During the Boxing Day period, players' physical strength becomes even more depleted. Tottenham players who have already been overworked cannot afford to be physically relaxed. If Postecoglou's tactical stubbornness continues, the players will become increasingly dissatisfied.
