Tottenham Football Association Cup observation: Teenagers and substitutes broke out together! But there are still big problems in defense.
Tottenham Hotspur's starting line-up: In this game, Tottenham Hotspur is still in a 423 1 formation, with goalkeeper gazzaniga, young defender Tanganga, left defender Sesegnon, central defender Sanchez and Wiltongheng as partners, two backcourt Dell and Winks, front waist Eriksson, two wingers lamela and Russell, and striker Lucas Jr. Judging from the lineup, Mourinho's purpose is to train and let the main players have a rest. In this game, except Lucas Jr., other players were not regular main players. Lucas Jr. only played for 60 minutes, and then was replaced by Sun Xingyu.
Tottenham's harvest: Mourinho gained a lot in this game, first of all Tanganga. I don't want to say more about Tanganga's performance. I wrote an article about him, with specific data, you can go and have a look. In this game, Tangang added freely and the defensive end performed well. Of course, he showed this in the last round of defense, and in this game, his offensive level was demonstrated, creating two excellent opportunities, and a good ball hit the post. His cross is very clever, and it is a curveball cross, which is very threatening. Of course, the most important thing is that he can return to defense in time after the attack. This is Houllier. After that, he may become the main right-back of Tottenham Hotspur.
Sesegnon: Although Sesegnon's performance in this competition is not as eye-catching as Tanganga's, his performance is obviously much better than that in previous competitions. Many people have seen the empty net of Sesegnon, but if you watch the game carefully, you will find that Sesegnon's confidence in this game is obviously better than before. In the past, he either crossed the ball or passed it back, and he didn't dare to take the ball. In this game, he dared to take the ball and began to break through, which was a precursor to his confidence recovery. At the same time, Tottenham's first goal was also attributed to Cesar Segnon. It was his active steal that made the opposing goalkeeper lose the ball in a panic, which led to Laussel's steal score.
Lamela and lamela did really well in this game. Besides scoring goals, lamela has many eye-catching performances. Lamela was full of energy in this game, and he spelled out his goal. Besides, he has skill and figure. To tell the truth, he is a bit like firmino. In the absence of Kane, Mourinho may make lamela a guest center, so that he can make a series of frontcourt efforts and attacks. However, lamela's disadvantage is that his passing ability is worse than that of firmino.
Laussel Suo, his performance in this game is very good, his fighting is very active, and his pitching ability is also very good, which is what Tottenham needs now. The last game against Liverpool, Laussel Suo performed well, and this game is obviously more suitable for the Premier League. If Eriksson really wants to leave, perhaps Roselso can take his place and become the central midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur. After all, he has a good sense of overall situation and passing ability.
Disadvantages: First of all, the players on the offensive end of Tottenham seem to be a little independent. Ali and Lucas seem to want to score after they have scored with the ball. Obviously, their teammates are in a better position, but they just refuse to pass the ball. Moreover, after the team's frontcourt players entered the restricted area in this game, they did not have the kind of small cooperation in previous games. Of course, the most important thing is that Tottenham players need to improve their shooting accuracy. Before Tottenham Hotspur's firepower was on Kane, and Kane's shooting skill was absolutely top-notch. Now that Kane is gone, maybe players need to strengthen their shooting ability.
Defense: Tottenham's defense is still unstable, and gazzaniga has an unshirkable responsibility for losing the ball. Middlesbrough's long-range shot was actually not a big threat, but gazzaniga failed to jump out, which showed his instability. Gazzaniga often has world-class saves when he is good, but no one knows what he will become when he is not good. The score given to Chelsea shows that he is really not calm enough. At the same time, Sanchez's performance in the central defender position was really bad, with two passing mistakes in the backcourt, 1 header, 1 own goal assist. It can be said that if the opponent has a stronger ability to seize the opportunity, Tottenham may still lose, and all this is given by Sanchez. I have to say that the name Sanchez is definitely a curse for Mourinho!
Judging from the performance of the players in this game, Tottenham actually gained a lot. The team's tactics are clear and the players' efforts are good. Many players have started to explode, but the problem of the team's defense still needs to be solved. At the same time, the team was obviously different in the first half. I don't know what the situation is. Perhaps Mourinho also needs to solve this problem. At the beginning, he often did this in his last season in charge of Manchester United. The team played obviously differently in the first half, which is also an urgent problem for Tottenham.
