[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon = British soccer expert Jamie Redknapp cited defensive anxiety as the problem of Tottenham Hootspur, which is currently sluggish.
Tottenham lost 0-3 to Manchester City in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England at 2:30 a.m. on the 14th. With this, Tottenham is currently ranked ninth in the league (36 points).
On this day, Tottenham started a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kane was placed in the forefront, followed by Son Heung-min, Moura, and Lamela. Ndombele and Hoivier built the Jungwon, while the four hundred were in charge of Davis, Dyer, Sanchez, and Tanganga. The goal was kept by Joris.
Confronting this, Man City brought out a 4-3-3 formation. Sterling, Jessus, and Forden made the top three, while Silva, Rodri and Gündogan played as midfielders. In the four hundred, Jinchenko, Laport, Stones, and Kanselu matched their breath, and Ederson wore goalkeeper gloves.
Man City’s opening goal was scored. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Gundogan tripped over to Hoivier, and a penalty was declared, and Rodri, who took the kicker, ended calmly. Early in the second half, Man City scored an extra goal. Gundogan, who received Sterling’s pass in the fourth minute of the second half, shook the net.
Man City scored a key goal. In the 21st minute of the second half, Ederson’s long pass was connected to Gundogan, and Gundogan who beat Sanchez scored with an accurate left-footed shot. In the second half, Tottenham put in Ali and Veil to put all his power in, but in the end, he knelt without opening the goal of Man City.
This led Tottenham to record 1-4 in their last 5 league games. He succeeded in breaking the chain of three consecutive losses against West Brom, but he couldn’t cross the wall of Man City and earn points. Fortunately, it is only a 4 point difference between the current 4th place Liverpool and there are still hopes of acquiring the champions league qualification.
However, recently uneasy defense has been pointed out as a problem. He scored eight runs in five recent league games. He also allowed Everton a whopping 5 runs in the FA Cup round of 16 during the week. At the time, Tottenham scored the opening goal but lost 4-5 after an overtime match. He scored 12 runs against top teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, and Everton.
Redknapp also mentioned his regrets about the defense after the game against Man City. Redknapp pointed out that “Tottenham was very passive against Man City and his defense seemed to lack confidence. Also, coach Mourinho changed his 400 line so often that mistakes were made.”
In fact, Tottenham used a mix of 300 and 400 in his last five games, including Everton and FA Cup, and a variety of players. Although Regilon and Orie were injured, Doherty did not get Mourinho’s credibility, and Dyer, Alderweireld, and Sanchez took turns playing the center back line that should be centered.
