Tottenham won 3-1 in the 2020/21 Premier League round 18 away game against Sheffield at Bramall Lane on the night of the 17th (Korean time). In the 5th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min’s corner kick, Sergi Orie, scored the opening goal with a header, Harry Kane scored an extra goal in the 40th minute, and Tangwi Ndombele scored a key goal in the 17th minute.
Recently, Tottenham has risen on the cutting board by running a game that focuses on defense instead of attacking for additional goals after the opening goal. In fact, only 10 points lost in the Premier League due to conceding after the opening goal. Even if all these points were won, the ranking could rise to No. 1 instead of No. 6. Fans’ dissatisfaction with Jose Mourinho’s strategy and local media’s criticism were endless.
Kane told the story about this in an interview with BBC’MOTD’ after the game. He said, “I never told the bishop to sit down. It was because of our mental power on the stadium,” defended coach Murinho. “The most important thing is that players want to move forward and take responsibility. Today we did these things.” He said he won the victory with a strong mindset.

“There were some chances I should have done better. But winning the game is the most important. You have to keep good chances to compete to win. In that respect, it was disappointing to lose points in a win-winning game.” He expressed his determination to climb to a higher place by taking lessons from recent mistakes.
