[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Fans’ reaction to Tottenham Hotspur’s shocking elimination of the Europa League is terrifying. There is a loud voice shouting’Mourinho Out’.
Tottenham lost 0-3 to Zagreb in the second leg of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) in the 2020/21 season held at Stadion Maximir in Zagreb, Croatia at 2:55 a.m. Korean time on the 19th. . He won 2-0 in the first leg, but the final quarter was frustrated with a combined score of 3-2.
It was a helpless game. Tottenham, who won two points in the home room, had room to advance to the quarterfinals. However, on this day, the destructive power was weak in the attack, and the defensive concentration fell.
In the 17th minute of the second half, which was tense at 0-0, Orsic gave the lead goal. Even then, there was hope. However, I was quite embarrassed by Zagreb’s offensive. In the 37th minute of the second half, they conceded once again to Orsic, and the game was extended.
During the first half of the overtime, Tottenham did not have a chance to do this. The last pass and finish around the opponent’s penalty box were disappointing. He scored his third goal for Orsic after a minute of the second half of the extra-long period. Tottenham went into onslaught mode for the rest of the time, but in the end, he was grateful.
It was a humiliating defeat, considering that he was far ahead of his objective strategy. After the game, Tottenham legend Glenn Ho said, “It was a terrible game and a disastrous result. The Spurs were terrible. There was a mental problem.”
The fan reaction also took off. Director Mourinho’s leadership came to the fore. One fan said, “I hope that Mourinho will be the last interview in Tottenham,” and tagged’Joe Out’ as a hashtag.
“I am waiting for the post of a club statement (relating to the Mourinho firing)”, “Being hard on Pochettino still hurts the Spurs”, “Mourinho Out”, “Joe parks the bus in most of the games. How did you get the advantage of two goals and scored three goals for defending only?”
As you can see just by looking at the shouts of fans, Tottenham’s situation is not good. In order for Mourinho to divert public opinion, it seems necessary to win the 4th place Suseong in the league and Carabao Cup. However, even this is not easy.
