As the promotion horse of the Premier League this season, Brentford actually gave a lot of surprises in the first half of the game, and this team even entered the top six positions in the league at one point, but did not occupy too long. With the progress of the league, as a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League, the problem of their lack of reserves has been exposed very obviously, the strength of the players and the tactical arrangement have encountered great trouble, and there are currently 26 rounds of the league, Brentford is only in the 14th position of the league, and the team in the relegation zone is only 4 points away, and recently suffered a 7-round winless. Simply put, after entering 2022, Brentford is in big trouble.
A brief look at the set of statistics, Brentford has scored 27 goals and conceded 42 goals this season, all in the lower and middle of the league. But they have only scored 5 goals in the last 7 league rounds, and this offensive efficiency is a very big problem, and the reason for this situation, we can still analyze it through a set of data. He averaged 7 times per game, ranking first in the league; averaged 7.2 key passes per game, second to the bottom of the league; averaged 10.5 shots per game, the third from the bottom of the league; the pass success rate was 72.1%, the second to the bottom of the league. From this set of data, we can also find that unlike many teams with weak offensive firepower, they have a great lack of creativity and threats, and if the team changes the attack, it needs to change from the position of the midfield.
However, as a league promotion horse, Brentford actually does not have much money for transfers, and after being promoted to the Premier League, the most expensive players they have bought in the transfer market are only the central defenderSayer Ayer from the Super League, and the recall of a number of players who have been loaned. During the league transfer period, they did not make much movement, but signed the former Spurs midfield core Eriksen with a "give it" mentality. Eros' experience in last year's European Championship made him unable to play for Inter, and the two sides terminated their contracts early, but Eriksen did not give up, but still actively exercised, trying to find opportunities to play again, until he met Brentford.
According to Brentford official reports and the confirmation of the team's head coach Frank, Eriksen will appear in the 27th round of the match against Newcastle, it seems that Eriksen is fully ready to debut, and this is also his return to the Premier League after 3 years since leaving Spurs in 2019, many people may remember his outstanding performance at Tottenham, but perhaps many people simply send the most heartfelt wishes to the man who has defeated the "God of Death", hoping that he can enjoy football. In any case, Eriksen is still on the pitch, and we will see what kind of performance he will bring us.
In addition to Eriksen's return in the Premier League, Conte's expression of dissatisfaction with Tottenham's management in an interview has also attracted a lot of fan attention and discussion. After losing the match with Burnley, Tottenham's competition for the fourth place this season has become extremely unfavorable, which is a very difficult thing for Conte, who is bent on bringing the team into the Champions League zone, and directly spitting on the management can also see his dissatisfaction, and the lack of support of the team owner and management may be the key reason. If things go any further, perhaps this is Conte's first season at charge of Tottenham, and it could be his last.
