Tottenham This season, the Premier League is still in third place, but the team's performance against strong teams can be said to be terrible, with consecutive losses at the feet of Arsenal , Manchester United , and Newcastle United; at the beginning of the season, facing Chelsea also barely achieved a draw with the help of VAR and referees. It is not easy for this team to break the fourteen-year championship drought.
cannot break dense defense
The biggest problem of Tottenham is that it cannot break dense defense. When facing teams with one or two lower grades, the team can still create opportunities based on the set-piece offensive and score goals with the personal ability of Harry Kane . Apart from counterattacks and set pieces, Tottenham has no third offensive move (strictly speaking, counterattacks do not count).
Rodrigo Bentankur 's position is to hand over more penetrating direct passes and passes, but this Uruguayan is only a second-line head and first-line tail, which is more than one level away from the team's "former generator" Christian Eriksen . He often has problems that he can't grasp even if he has the opportunity. After getting rid of the opponent's guard, his timing and decision to pass the ball are not good enough. The bigger problem is that no matter how much help is placed next to him, Pierre Hoyber, , Oliver Skip, and Yves Bisuma, they cannot give much help to the organization. The latter three are just engineer-type midfielders who are full-time sweeping; Tottenham really needs to sign an all-round midfielder to supplement.
The wingbacks on both sides are not capable of
Conte The previous offense relies heavily on wingbacks on both sides to open up space for the team; when at Chelsea, Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso were the team's sharp weapon for scoring. Victor Moses has strong breakthroughs and impact power; Marcos Alonso has forward-level shooting skills to harvest, so that the team can make good use of the space on both sides. But now several of Tottenham's wingbacks have not been able to achieve this effect. Matt Doherty is more powerful, but his pass and shot ability is mediocre; Sesenon is not confrontational and is a very weak guard; Emerson cannot even do a good job in defense, and the "air-to-air cross" on the offensive end is even more hell-level; Ivan Perisic is already the most reliable member of the wingbacks, but this Croatian is 33 years old, and it is a bit difficult for him to play and play for a long time.
South China is currently doing a good job in defense, and a group of engineers can also meet Conte's tactical requirements; but the team's performance in the frontcourt is really not good enough. With Sun Heung-min and Harry Kane have been strictly guarded, the team has no second trick to score. The three central defenders can indeed keep Tottenham's lower limit, but the team must solve the offensive problem before the team can increase the team's "upper limit".
