Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-3 in the warm-up match! It's still that heavenly ball! Without reorganizing the defenses, it will be difficult to leave Kane four
Tottenham, who entered the Bostergloo era, played their first warm-up game of summer training tonight, and in the end, they were beaten 3-2 by West Ham United after trailing 2-0 and chasing 2-2. Judging from the situation of the game, Tottenham's defensive problems are still serious, and all three goals conceded are defensive errors. The team's most important job at the moment is to keep Kane and fight for four next season, and if the defence is not restructured, Tottenham will still be unpromising for the new season.
In the first game of summer training, the reference value is not great, but it still has a strong direction. Especially for a team like Tottenham, players need to prove themselves in front of the new manager. Tottenham's starting line-up includes Kane, Kourou and Romero, as well as new signings such as Maddison, Solomon and Vicario, as well as veterans such as Reguilon who need to prove themselves.
The result? Tottenham, who discharged the 4231 formation, were extremely monotonous in attack, but were scored by West Ham in the first half. In the first 2 goals conceded, the Tottenham defense showed a very "familiar" taste: Reguilon looked at the ball without looking at people, and was scored by Daniels from behind; This was followed by a leak and a spike in the Polo penalty area, allowing opposing small forward Mouba to score with a header.
Such a defensive leak was the norm for Tottenham's team in previous seasons.
West Ham made a drastic substitution in the second half to play in a young squad, which also gave Tottenham the opportunity to attack at full strength. Tottenham played a mediocre game, scoring two goals in a row from set-pieces. But then, there's their defensive problem.
In the face of West Ham's counter-attack, Alexis Sanchez, known as a time bomb, made a mistake between marking and positioning, allowing Scamarca to cut forward for a single chance, and Tottenham's hard-earned score instantly reached 2-3.
In the Premier League last season, Tottenham conceded as many as 63 goals, the most of any team in the top ten. Moreover, only less than 5 teams such as Leeds United. Loris's cliff-like decline, the lack of leaders on the defensive line and the worrying defensive quality of almost all members have built a heavenly regiment-level play. At present, Tottenham still have not brought in the central defender position, if they still rely on central defenders such as Sanchez and Dale to play in the new season, even if Kane is left, Tottenham are in the offensive end to play things, but the defensive end is crazy to send heads.
Top four? Hard~
